Tenned

Tenned is a fictional town created for world-building and narrative purposes. It is situated in the eastern highlands of the imagined realm of Eldoria, near the Silver River and at moderate altitude, with conifer forests on its hills and terraced slopes along the valley. The name Tenned is said to derive from an early Eldorian term meaning "stone," reflecting the community’s long association with quarrying and masonry.

Historically, Tenned develops around a monastery and a small quarry complex in the late medieval period, evolving into a regional trading stop served by a simple road network. Its growth was steady but modest, shaped by periodic conflicts, changing river patterns, and eventual modernization described in fictional chronicles.

Economy and demographics: In the contemporary fictional timeline, Tenned sustains itself through quarrying, timber, local crafts, and service sectors for visitors. The population is portrayed as a few thousand people, with a tight-knit governing council and a mayor.

Culture and landmarks: The town center preserves a medieval-core atmosphere, anchored by the Old Monastery, the Quarry Gate, and a riverside market. Tenned hosts an annual Tenned Festival featuring stone-carving demonstrations, music, and regional dishes. The local dialect of Eldorian is commonly spoken alongside the standard tongue in ceremonial contexts.

In fiction and games: Tenned appears in multiple stories and role-playing game supplements as a waypoint between northern and southern regions, often illustrating tensions between industrial development and heritage preservation.
