Wodawa is located in the fictional nation of Norhaven, in the eastern lowlands near the Woda River. It has about 8,000 residents and functions as a local administrative and cultural center. The town sits in a temperate climate zone with broad river valleys and nearby deciduous forests, features that have shaped its economy and lifestyle over the centuries.

The Woda River historically facilitated trade and powered mills, contributing to the town’s early growth as a market settlement. Fortifications were expanded in the early modern period, and Wodawa became part of Norhaven’s municipal framework in the 19th century. These layers of history are reflected in the town’s preserved architecture and street plan.

The local economy relies on agriculture (grain and dairy), light manufacturing (wood products), and services, with tourism tied to the river landscape and the historic core. The population is diverse for a town of its size, with the majority identifying as Norhavenians and smaller communities of migrants from neighboring regions. Governance follows a mayor and town council system elected for four-year terms.

Notable landmarks include the medieval parish church of St. Michael, the Old Town Hall, and a historic bridge over the Woda River. Wodawa is connected by a regional highway and a branch railway, with the national capital’s airport reachable by a several-hour drive. The town hosts cultural events such as the annual Water Festival and a summer music series, reflecting a community oriented toward history, nature, and civic life.
