Tavir

Tavir is a town and administrative center in the Velaria region of Eldara. It sits along the Tavir River, roughly 60 kilometers north of the regional capital, Darsen. The surrounding landscape includes rolling hills and cultivated farmland, and the area experiences a temperate climate with mild winters and warm summers. As of the latest estimates, Tavir has a population in the low tens of thousands.

Historically, Tavir emerged in the medieval period as a market settlement and grew through river trade. It received a municipal charter in the 12th century, which helped formalize local governance. The arrival of the railway in the late 19th century spurred growth in industry and housing, and the town expanded its administrative and educational functions in the 20th century. Today Tavir serves as the administrative center for the Velaria region, balancing public services with a regional economy anchored in agriculture, light manufacturing, and services.

Economy and culture are shaped by a well-preserved historic core. Key sites include the Tavir Gate, St. Michael’s Cathedral, and the old Town Hall. The town hosts an annual harvest festival and maintains a small museum and cultural center that focus on regional heritage. The local economy relies on farming (grain and dairy), small-scale manufacturing, and tourism rooted in the town’s medieval architecture and riverside setting.

Governance is provided by a municipal council and a mayor, with administrative ties to the Velaria regional authorities. Tavir is connected by regional rail and a network of roads, supporting commuting and regional trade.
