Rugbyn

Rugbyn is a fictional village and civil parish set in Veridia. It lies in the Veridian countryside, about 20 kilometers southeast of the regional capital and near the River Lome. The parish covers roughly 12 square kilometers of mixed farmland and woodland.

Rugbyn's recorded history begins in the 12th century, with the establishment of a manor that gave the village its name. The Parish Church of St. Alder dates to the 13th century and remains a focal point of local life. The population has grown gradually in the 19th and 20th centuries, reaching about 2,300 residents by 2021.

Economy centers on agriculture—dairy farming and malting barley—and small-scale crafts. A modest tourism sector arises from historic buildings and annual events such as the Rugbyn Rugby Festival, which also supports the local rugby club, Rugbyn RFC, founded in 1920. The club runs youth programs and hosts friendly matches with nearby villages.

Key landmarks include St. Alder's Church, Rugbyn Manor, and Bladewell Woods. The village sits on gently rolling terrain with hedgerows, meadows, and a network of public rights of way that connect to surrounding parishes.

Rugbyn is governed by a parish council, which falls under the jurisdiction of Veridia County Council for higher services. The village has a primary school, a village hall, a post office, and a small shop. Secondary students typically travel to schools in nearby towns.

Transport links consist of a rural road network, with the nearest railway station about 12 kilometers away in Grindle and regular bus services to nearby settlements.
