Troebelin

Troebelin is a fictional town in the country of Veridia. It is the administrative center of the district of Harthau, located in the eastern Veridian Highlands near the Vena River. The town covers about 35 square kilometers and has a population of roughly 8,000, with a mixed rural-urban character.

The first known records of Troebelin date to the 12th century, when a small fortress stood on the hill above the river. The town grew in the late medieval period as a market settlement and gained district-town status during the 19th century rail era. After regional reforms in the late 20th century, Troebelin became the seat of the local government within Veridia.
