Peváná

Peváná is a fictional town created for illustrative purposes in this article. It is not a real place.

Located in the archipelago of Valara, Peváná sits on a sheltered crescent-shaped coastline and includes a low river valley inland, with pine forests and terraced fields surrounding the settlement.

The town is said to have been founded in the 14th century by mariners who settled along the river and established a small trading node that evolved into a regional market town.

In this fictional context, the population is about 7,500. The economy centers on fishing, small-scale farming, and craft workshops, with tourism providing a modest but growing share.

Local government is a town council that maintains a central market square, a primary school, and a small clinic. Transportation includes a ferry terminal linking nearby islands and a regional rail line.

Notable features include the Peváná Lighthouse, the historic harbor, and an annual Harvest and Tide festival that draws visitors from across the archipelago.

As a teaching example, Peváná is used to illustrate coastal governance, sustainable resource use, and community planning in fictional geographies.
