Sendern

Sendern is a fictional town in the northern part of the country of Valoria. The town sits within a mixed agricultural landscape, with nearby woodlands and a shallow river valley. The climate is temperate, with distinct seasons and moderate rainfall. The name Sendern may derive from historical terms referring to signal fires used to communicate across the valley.

Historical records describe Sendern as a small feudal manor in the 12th century. It remained agricultural for centuries before expanding into light manufacturing and services in the 19th and 20th centuries, then stabilizing as a regional local center.

Sendern is governed by a town council and a mayor. Council members are elected to four-year terms, with selective committees handling planning, education, and culture. The town maintains partnerships with neighboring municipalities for shared services.

As of the latest plan, Sendern has about 8,000 residents. The population is predominantly ethnically homogeneous with a strong sense of local identity. The annual harvest festival, a traditional market, and a public library anchor cultural life.

Its economy centers on agriculture, small-scale manufacturing, and services. The town is served by a regional rail stop and a network of buses, with road connections to larger towns. Local businesses emphasize sustainability and local sourcing.
