Slaktingen

Slaktingen is a municipality in the Nordmark region of the fictional country of Nordland. It sits in a gentle river valley surrounded by mixed farmland and woodland. The municipality has about 4,800 residents and covers roughly 55 square kilometers. Local government is led by a mayor and council elected for four-year terms.

Slaktingen is first mentioned in 1176, when the settlement formed around a parish church and a few mills. It remained largely agricultural through the medieval and early modern periods, with a small crafts sector. In the 19th century textile and woodworking workshops emerged, and the town gradually expanded.

Geographically, the area features rolling hills, a river plain, and patches of forest. The economy relies on farming, small-scale manufacturing, and regional services; tourism is modest, based on hiking routes and rural scenery.

Transport consists of regional roads; the nearest rail link is in a nearby town, with regular bus connections to surrounding communities. Education includes a primary school and a lower secondary school; older students attend a regional high school in a neighboring town.

Cultural life centers on the parish church of St. Martin, dating to the 12th century, and an annual harvest festival. The town preserves several historic houses and traditional farmsteads that attract visitors.

Notable people associated with Slaktingen include local artisans and civil servants who contributed to regional life.
