Urundet

Urundet is a fictional town and municipality in the northern Veridian region. It lies on the Urun River, about 12 kilometers inland from the Veridian Sea. The surrounding landscape includes river floodplains, low hills, and mixed forests. The climate is temperate maritime, with cool summers and damp winters.

Historically, Urundet developed in the 13th century as a river trade outpost serving agricultural settlements. It received town rights in the 15th century and expanded a small port in the 18th. The name comes from the Urunic language, meaning ford by the river.

Demographics and culture: The municipality has roughly 5,000 residents. The population is primarily Veridian-speaking, with a minority of neighboring dialect speakers. The annual Harvest Festival features markets, folk music, and river-rafting events.

Economy: Agriculture dominates, with grains, vegetables, and apples. Small-scale manufacturing and services contribute, while regional tourism centers on river scenery and historical sites.

Governance and infrastructure: Urundet is governed by a mayor and council within a regional framework. It is connected by regional roads to nearby towns; the nearest rail link is in a neighboring municipality. A small river port handles limited cargo and passenger movement.

Notable landmarks include St. Anselm Church, the 17th-century Urun Bridge, and the river quay, which appear in local guides and folklore.
