Roolin

Roolin is a fictional municipality in Eldoria, a coastal country used for world-building and storytelling. It lies at the confluence of the Silver River and the Alder Brook and serves as the administrative seat of the Roolin District. The population is approximately 1,900 residents, with a mix of agricultural households and small-service businesses.

Historically, Roolin grew as a market town from a 12th-century settlement that developed around river crossings. Its name is believed to derive from an early local term for a ford or a prominent family in the area. The construction of a stone bridge in the 18th century enhanced regional trade, and the town preserved much of its historical core during modernization in the 20th century.

Economically, Roolin relies on agriculture, particularly orchards and dairy farming, alongside light manufacturing and crafts. The town attracts visitors with a well-preserved market square, a historic mill, and local artisan workshops. Road connections link Roolin to neighboring towns, and a short rail spur supports commuting and commerce.

Culturally, Roolin hosts an annual Harvest Festival that features music, theater, and regional foods. Notable landmarks include the Old Market Hall, the Church of Saint Alder, and the Riverwalk along the Silver River. Local governance operates under a mayor-council system within Eldoria’s provincial framework, with municipal services coordinated with regional authorities.
