Peremehe

Peremehe is a rural village and civil parish in the fictional country of Aurelia, located in the northern region of Lytha along the Verin River. With about 420 residents, it sits on flat to gently rolling farmland, bordered by woodland to the east and a small lake to the south.

History: First documented in the 12th century. The name likely derives from a local word meaning “home of the master.” The parish church of Saint Helena was built in 1689 and remains the central landmark, with later restorations.

Economy and infrastructure: The economy centers on dairy farming and grain, plus small crafts and services. The village has a primary school, a health clinic, and a post office. It is connected by regional roads and a bus line; the nearby rail halt provides longer-distance service.

Culture and landmarks: An annual Harvest Festival and summer market celebrate local traditions. Significant sites include Saint Helena Church, Peremehe Mill, and a 17th-century boundary stone.

Governance and demographics: Peremehe belongs to the Nordvale municipality and is governed by a parish council of seven members. The population is aging, with policies aimed at sustaining schools and attracting families.

Notable people: The 20th-century poet Eira Rannem and several craft workers are associated with Peremehe.
