Nidimoru

Nidimoru is a coastal township located in the southwestern part of the island of Vash in the Archipelago of Tenara. The settlement sits on a low-lying plain extending along the western shoreline, bordered by the forested hills to the east. Its geographic coordinates are approximately 18°12′N latitude and 73°48′E longitude, placing it within a tropical monsoon climate zone characterized by hot, humid summers and mild, dry winters.

The origins of Nidimoru trace back to the late 16th century, when a group of small-scale farmers from the nearby inland village of Kurani settled in the area to take advantage of its fertile alluvial soils. In 1815 the township was incorporated into the Kingdom of Vash as a market center for agricultural produce, especially rice and coconut palms. Following the dissolution of the kingdom in 1948, Nidimoru became part of the Republic of Tenara and was administratively designated as the capital of the Nidimoru District.

Today the population is about 12,000 residents, with a mix of ethnic Vashiri and minority migrant communities. The local economy is dominated by agriculture, fishing, and a growing tourism sector driven by the pristine beaches and nearby coral reefs. Traditional festivals such as the annual Kite Festival and the Harvest Moon Fair celebrate the township’s agrarian heritage and maritime culture. Public services include a primary school, a health clinic, and a community library that preserves oral histories and local folklore. Nidimoru also hosts a modest artisanal market where local craftsmen produce pottery, woven mats, and traditional musical instruments.
