Umritun

Umritun is a fictional town and municipality in the northern region of Nordmark, in Norovia. It lies along the Varn River, about 40 kilometers inland from the coast, and is surrounded by cultivated fields and scattered woodlands.

The name Umritun derives from Old Norse elements umr, meaning end or boundary, and tún, meaning farmstead or estate, reflecting its historic location near a river bend. The town is situated at around 15 meters above sea level.

Historically, Umritun began as a 12th‑century river port serving regional trade in timber and grain. It grew slowly through the medieval period and was incorporated as a municipality in the late 19th century. Modern administration is organized as a single-tier municipality.

As of 2022, Umritun has about 12,000 residents. The economy combines agriculture, small‑scale manufacturing, and logistics services, anchored by a regional warehouse complex and a family-owned dairy. The town hosts a weekly market and a small business park.

Umritun is connected by the Nordmark Central railway line and regional roads, with a municipal bus network. Notable sites include the ruins of Umritun Castle, the Varn River greenway, and the town museum. The annual Umritun Festival showcases local music and crafts.
