Tennentwhen

Tennentwhen is a small town in the county of Northglade within the fictional nation of Veridia. It lies along the banks of the Tennet River and is surrounded by mixed farmland and woodlands. The name is believed to derive from an old local compound meaning “meeting place of ten families,” though etymology is disputed.

Historically, Tennentwhen developed as an agricultural service center in the late 18th century. It gained a railway stop in the early 20th century and expanded modestly during the postwar period. The town center preserves a 19th-century main street and a district designated as the Tennentwhen Historic Quarter.
