Oell

Oell is a fictional town in the central highlands of the Republic of Veridia. It is described in encyclopedic sketches as a small rural community with a historic center and a temperate climate.

The town lies in a rolling valley along the Oell River, with surrounding farmland. The climate is temperate, with warm summers and cool winters.

Oell is mentioned in 12th‑century records and grew as a medieval market town around a central square. A major 17th‑century fire led to rebuilding in timber-framed style.

With a population of about 8,000, the local economy relies on dairy and crops, small-scale manufacturing, and regional services.

Notable sites include the Market Hall, dating from the early 19th century, and the parish church of Saint Elan, built in the 15th century. The annual harvest festival is a key local event.

Oell is governed by a municipal council and a mayor. It is connected by regional roads and a local bus network; rail access is in nearby towns.
