Rohkemales

Rohkemales is a small, fictional village described here for a generic encyclopedia entry. It is located in the temperate highlands of Valoria, about 40 kilometers north of the regional capital and bordered by mixed farmland and woodland.

Rohkemales lies in a gentle valley along the Rohk River. The surrounding landscape is used for cereal crops, livestock farming, and woodland.

Records mention Rohkemales in 1423 as a farming settlement. It developed around a parish church and a road junction, expanding in the 19th century with the arrival of a regional rail line.

Today the local economy centers on agriculture, small-scale manufacturing, and services for residents and visitors. The village maintains a weekly market and hosts a summer fair.

Rohkemales has about 1,200 residents, with a mix of families, retirees, and commuters. The population is predominantly Valorian-speaking with a minority of speakers of neighboring dialects.

Administratively, Rohkemales is governed by a ten-member village council within Southvale District. It has a primary school, a community center, and a small healthcare clinic.

Notable sites include the 18th-century Rohk Church, the old bridge over the Rohk River, and a 19th-century windmill preserved as a local museum.
