Rhebbinding

Rhebbinding is a fictional village and civil parish in the nation of Eldoria, in the northern province of Northglen. It sits along the Sable River, about 15 kilometers southeast of the regional capital, Highmere. The landscape comprises farmland, pasture, and small woodlands, with a temperate maritime climate.

The name Rhebbinding appears in records from the 14th century, though its exact origin is uncertain. Local tradition ties it to a once-prominent manor and to linguistic influences from Old Norse and Middle Ages Frisian traders.

Rhebbinding developed around a river crossing and a stone bridge. It remained under feudal influence for centuries before evolving into a market village in the early modern period. A small woolen mill operated nearby in the 19th century, contributing to local growth; industry declined after World War II.

The parish now has around 1,000 residents. The economy centers on agriculture, light crafts, and service jobs in nearby towns. Governance is by a voluntary parish council within the Northglen district.

Key landmarks include St. Alaric’s Church, the Rhebbinding Bridge, and the market square from the mid-19th century. An annual Harvest Tide festival features produce, music, and crafts.
