Tiriña

Tiriña is a fictional village and civil parish in the western coastal region of Eldoria, within the municipality of Brinholt. It lies near the Tiriña River and the Atlantic-like Bay of Maris, about 28 kilometers from the municipal seat. The population is around 1,200 residents, with a mix of families, farmers, and small-business owners. The name is believed to derive from an old Valoran term meaning shore or edge, reflecting its seaside setting. The town center features the Church of San Miguel (14th–16th century origins) and a market square that hosts weekly markets. The local economy traditionally relied on fishing and farming, with a gradual shift toward tourism, crafts, and light manufacturing in recent decades. Surrounding countryside includes pastures, eucalyptus and pine forests, and a protected estuary that supports migratory birds. Tiriña maintains a strong culinary tradition centered on seafood and regional produce, celebrated during an annual maritime festival in late summer. Public services include a primary school, a health clinic, and a municipal library. Transportation relies on a regional road network and a seasonal harbor service linking nearby villages; a small ferry is occasionally used for local trips. The parish government consists of an elected council that collaborates with neighboring communities on environmental and economic initiatives. Notable landmarks include the Church of San Miguel and the Tiriña Lighthouse, repurposed as a visitor center. The community has produced several writers and artisans who contribute to regional culture.
