Viuli

Viuli is a small village and municipality in the central highlands of Eldara, a fictional country. It lies near the Viul River, roughly 60 kilometers northeast of Eldara’s capital. The municipality covers about 42 square kilometers and had a population of around 1,200 in 2023. Local government is headed by a mayor and a five-member council responsible for planning, schooling, and utilities.

The name Viuli derives from the historic Viul language once spoken in the region. The area was settled in the medieval period, and a parish church was established in the 14th century. The village expanded slowly through agrarian reforms in the 19th and early 20th centuries and later saw modest industrial activity, though it remains predominantly rural.

Geography consists of rolling deciduous forest, small streams, and pastures. The climate is temperate, with mild summers and cold winters; annual precipitation is moderate. The local economy centers on dairy farming, cereal crops, and small crafts. Tourism emphasizes hiking, rural accommodations, and a seasonal cultural festival.

Cultural life centers on the Viuli Festival, a week-long event featuring traditional music, crafts, and regional cuisine. Notable landmarks include Saint Michael’s Church, the Viul River crossing, and a hillside monument to regional artisans. Viuli cooperates with neighboring municipalities on regional services and schooling and participates in regional networks for transportation and emergency services.
