Rengini

Rengini is a coastal city and administrative center in the fictional nation of Veloria, located on the northern shore of the Velori Sea. It sits at the mouth of the Reningi River and is surrounded by low hills and terraced farmland. The city experiences a temperate maritime climate with mild winters and cool summers, influenced by prevailing westerlies.

Founded in the 12th century as a trading outpost, Rengini grew after the establishment of a protected harbor. It prospered under successive kingdoms, developed shipyards, and became a regional hub for fisheries and textile crafts. In the 19th century it underwent modernization with rail connections and a municipal water system. During regional conflicts, the city sustained damage but recovered through reconstruction and trade.

As of the latest estimates, Rengini has about 120,000 residents. The population is diverse, including communities of fishermen, artisans, and service workers, with a minority of foreign traders who settled in the port district. The city is governed by a mayor-council system, with a council elected by residents and a mayor who chairs the executive.

The economy centers on the harbor, which handles both fishing vessels and cargo ships. Additional sectors include light manufacturing, food processing, and tourism driven by waterfront promenades and historic districts. Rengini is connected by a regional rail line and a small international airport nearby; road networks link it to inland markets.

Notable landmarks include the Old Fort, the Market Arcade, and the Memorial Gardens. Cultural life centers on the Summer Harbor Festival, traditional crafts markets, and a vernacular cuisine featuring seafood and maize-based dishes.
