Sehrát

Sehrát is a town and municipality in the eastern lowlands of Aldoria, a fictional country. It lies along the Serin River and serves as the administrative center of the Serin Valley district. The town fosters a diversified local economy and has long functioned as a regional market town and hub for surrounding communities.

The origin of the name Sehrát is uncertain. Some linguists link it to ancient Serin language roots, while others connect it to pastoral terms referring to a bend in the river. In local usage, the name is pronounced with the emphasis on the second syllable.

Geographically, Sehrát covers roughly 58 square kilometers of fertile farmland, interspersed with hedgerows and small woodlands. The climate is temperate, with warm summers and cool, wet winters; the Serin River influences agriculture and occasionally raises flood risk in low-lying areas.

Historically, Sehrát developed as a medieval trading post and grew through crafts and market rights. It became a district center in the early modern era and underwent modernization in the 19th and 20th centuries, expanding infrastructure, education, and public services.

Demographically, the municipality hosts a mixed population of rural and urban workers. The economy combines agriculture, light manufacturing, and services, with a modest but growing tourism sector focused on historic streets and riverside amenities.

Cultural highlights include the 12th-century Saint Marek Church, the old town hall, and a riverside promenade. Annual markets and a harvest festival reflect local traditions, while regional crafts and culinary specialties contribute to the town’s identity.
