Pohárm

Pohárm is a fictional village in the highlands of the imagined nation of Veridia. It is commonly cited in discussions of rural settlement patterns and toponymy as a case study in how place names reflect landscape and culture.

The name Pohárm is analyzed as a compound from the Veridian root pohár meaning "cup" and a receptive suffix -m used in toponymy. The element is echoed in local traditions surrounding water and hospitality.

It lies at approximately 860 meters above sea level on a fertile plateau, near the Pohár River and the wooded Pohár Hills. The area experiences a temperate climate with cold winters and moderate summers. The landscape supports mixed farming and fruit orchards.

First documented in fictional annals dating to the 14th century, Pohárm grew around a river crossing and a small monastery. It survived a regional famine by diversifying crops and trade. In modern times it became known for crafts and agrarian products.

Current population is around 2,100 residents. Pohárm has a local council and a mayor; it is part of Veridia's Dént region which handles regional planning and services.

Economy centers on agriculture, dairy, and pottery. A distinctive cup-shaped ceramic ware, known as pohár, is produced locally and used in regional ceremonies. Cultural life centers on the annual Cup Festival, featuring craft markets, music, and communal meals.
