Rhene

Rhene is a fictional city in the fantasy world of Eldoria, appearing in various novels, role-playing games, and online fiction. It functions as a cultural and administrative hub in several narratives, serving as a focal point for trade, learning, and political life.

Geographically, Rhene is situated in the eastern lowlands of Eldoria, at the confluence of the Oren and Mira rivers. The climate is temperate, with wet winters and warm summers. The old town sits behind stone walls, while the riverfront hosts newer districts and commercial quarters.

Historically, Rhene began as a market settlement in the early medieval period and grew into a regional center under the Lethari-ruled realms. It prospered as a trading hub for textiles, timber, and metalwork, and later became the administrative seat of Veridian authority in many depictions. The city is often depicted as enduring sieges, rebuilds, and moments of symbolic significance.

Economy and culture in Rhene emphasize crafts and commerce. It is renowned for weaving guilds, metalworking workshops, and a scholarly tradition anchored by a local academy and library. Public life centers on the central square, the Night Market, and seasonal festivals such as Harvest Week, which are described across different works.

Governance is shown as a city council-led system, sometimes led by a lord or mayor depending on the narrative. Population figures in contemporary depictions range around 120,000 to 150,000, with a diverse mix of residents and visitors who contribute to its bustling urban life and fictional transit networks.
