Urani

Urani is a fictional coastal town located in the country of Veridia. It sits on the southern shore of the Veridian Sea and is the administrative center of Urani District. The town's urban core centers on a working harbor, a historic market square, and the Urani Church (built 1879). The surrounding region combines low cliffs, sheltered coves, and foothills that rise toward the Veridian Mountains.

Urani has a temperate maritime climate with mild winters and cool summers; average annual rainfall is about 950 mm. The town supports a harbor-based economy and serves as a local hub for nearby villages. Its urban planning emphasizes accessibility to the waterfront, with piers, warehouses, and a promenade that connects to residential streets and small parks.

Historically, Urani was settled by fishermen in the 17th century and developed into a trading port in the 18th and 19th centuries. Today the economy focuses on fishing, seafood processing, aquaculture, and coastal tourism. The town maintains traditional crafts such as net weaving and boat restoration, alongside small businesses that cater to visitors.

Population is around 7,500–8,000; governance is by a mayor and town council within Veridia's decentralized system. Cultural notes include an annual Lantern Festival and a weekly fish market, with local dialects reflecting Veridian influence. Notable landmarks include Urani Lighthouse and Saint Peter and Paul Church. Transportation includes port facilities for fishing vessels and passenger ferries, a network of regional roads, and regular bus services to inland towns.
