Snrdan

Snrdan is a fictional city in the northern Veridian region. It serves as the administrative center of the North Province and functions as a regional commercial hub. The city has an estimated population of about 120,000 residents and a diversified economy.

Snrdan sits on the Silver River in a temperate river valley with surrounding farmland and occasional hills to the north. The climate is mild, with warm summers, cool winters, and regular rainfall.

Founded in the 11th century as a river crossing, Snrdan developed as a trading town and market center. Its growth accelerated during the industrial era, leading to expanded port facilities, rail links, and urban housing. After World War II, the city modernized its infrastructure and public services.

The economy is diversified, with logistics, light manufacturing, wholesale trade, education, and services. The river port handles regional cargo and passenger traffic, while the city hosts a growing tech and creative-services sector anchored by a satellite campus of Veridia University.

Snrdan is governed by a mayor and a 20-member city council, within the province’s administrative framework. The population is largely Veridian-speaking with smaller communities speaking minority languages. The city is ethnically varied and relatively young compared to national averages.

Key infrastructure includes a passenger rail line, a river port, a ring-road, and a public transit network. Cultural life centers on the historic Old Market, the Riverside Park, and the Snrdan Cathedral. The annual Festival of Light draws visitors from across the region.

Educational institutions include a Veridia University satellite campus and a municipal technical college. Notable architectural landmarks include the old town walls, the Market Clock, and the Elevated Watchtower preserved as a monument.
