Taulut

Taulut is a fictional town and municipality created for illustrative purposes. Located in the hypothetical region of Valoria, it covers about 42 square kilometers and has a population of around 6,300. The town sits in a gentle river valley surrounded by farmland and small deciduous forests, with a climate that is temperate and seasonal but without extreme conditions.

Historically, Taulut traces its origins to medieval settlers who established a market along the river. The settlement gained municipal rights in 1786 and grew as an agricultural hub in the 19th century, anchored by a weekly market and a guild of craftsmen.

Economy and infrastructure: The local economy relies on agriculture—grain and dairy—along with small-scale manufacturing and services. A regional road network provides the main connections; there is no railway, but regular bus services link Taulut to neighboring towns. The town hosts a crafts cooperative and a weekly market that draws visitors from surrounding areas.

Demographics and culture: The population is predominantly Valorian-speaking with a minority of migrant residents. Local institutions include a church, a primary school, a secondary school, a library, and a small museum focused on regional history. The annual harvest festival is the principal cultural event, featuring traditional music, crafts, and local foods.

Governance and services: Taulut is governed by a town council led by a mayor, and is part of a larger Valorian municipal region. Public services include a municipal clinic, volunteer fire brigade, and shared police arrangements with neighboring communities.
