Pildil

Pildil is a town and municipality in the fictional region of Valoria on the continent of Lyria. It sits in a fertile river valley along the Pildor River, covering about 34 square kilometers. The population is approximately 8,500, and the town serves as a local hub for agriculture, crafts, and services.

Pildil's origins trace to the 11th century, when settlers from the coastal city of Ardent established a market settlement by the river bend. It gained municipal rights in the 13th century and grew as a trading node linking inland farms with coastal commerce. The town rebuilt after several late medieval conflicts.

Geography features a patchwork of farmland surrounded by gentle hills. The climate is temperate, with warm summers and cool winters, tempered by the river's influence. The countryside supports orchards and vineyards that contribute to the local economy.

The economy is mixed, with agriculture (grains and fruit), small-scale manufacturing, and tourism. Key sites include the riverfront market and artisan workshops. Transportation relies on regional roads, a nearby rail spur, and summer boat traffic on the Pildor.

Culturally, Pildil centers on the Pildili language and regional traditions. Landmarks include the medieval Pildil Cathedral and the Old Market. The annual Harvest Festival reflects the town's agrarian heritage, while governance is by a mayor and council within a larger prefectural system.
