Randlesin

Randlesin is a fictional town in the northern reaches of Eldoria, a setting used in fantasy literature and tabletop role-playing games. The town sits along the Silvermere River and functions as a regional cultural and educational hub.

Historically, Randlesin traces its origins to the 11th century, when settlers from Randvale established a market settlement after a drought. It grew into a regional trading center during the High Kingdom period, with the construction of a stone fortress in the 15th century and the later development of a university complex in the 16th century. The town has since been portrayed as a locale where scholars, merchants, and travelers intersect.

Geographically, Randlesin is surrounded by deciduous forests and limestone hills, with a temperate climate that features mild winters and cool summers. The Silvermere River provides both water resources and a scenic backdrop for the town’s streets and markets.

Economy and culture are closely linked to education and craft traditions. The local economy blends agriculture—especially apples and grain—with crafts and textiles. Randlesin is often depicted as hosting public lectures, literary events, and the annual Founders’ Festival, which celebrates the town’s historical roots.

Institutions and landmarks include Randlesin University, home to the School of Natural Philosophy, and the Randlesin Library, which preserves manuscripts and folklore. Notable landmarks commonly mentioned in narratives are the Fortress of Lumen, the Silver Gate, and the Old Market.

Notable figures associated with Randlesin appear in various works, such as scholars and archivists who are portrayed as influential in regional scholarship.
