Palci

Palci is a fictional town and municipality in the region of Valoria, within the country of Eldoria. It lies in the Lora valley, surrounded by orchards and deciduous forests, roughly 22 square kilometers in area. The population is about 7,900 residents.

The terrain is gently rolling, with a river running along the southern edge and a small range of hills to the north. The area experiences a temperate climate, with warm summers, cool winters, and rainfall spread throughout the year.

Palci traces its recorded history to the 12th century, when a hilltop fortress protected a trade route between upland villages and the river plain. The parish church of Saint Ranan, completed in 1462, remains a focal point of the town. In the 18th and 19th centuries Palci developed a market economy and adopted a municipal council.

Its economy is diversified: agriculture (grain and vineyards), light wood crafts, and services related to tourism. The town is connected by a regional rail line and a national highway, with a local bus network serving residents and visitors.

As of the latest estimates, Palci's residents are predominantly Palcian-speaking, with small immigrant communities. Cultural life centers on the Palci Harvest Festival, featuring music, crafts, and a street market.

Notable sites include the Hilltop Fortress Ruins, Saint Lucia Church, and the Riverside Promenade, which runs along the Lora river and hosts annual events.
