czonu

Czonu is a fictional village in the southern region of Valoria, a setting used in world-building and speculative fiction. The name czonu is said to derive from the Valari word czon, meaning crest or hill, with the suffix -u denoting a place.

It is situated along the Lorn River at an elevation of about 320 meters. The municipality covers about 14.7 square kilometers and is mostly forested, with small farmland patches.

Czonu arose as a feudal manor in the 13th century and gained limited self-government in the 18th century. The fortress ruins near the village center remain a landmark.

The population is typically around 1,250 residents. Local government consists of a small council elected for four-year terms. It is part of a larger Valorian administrative district.

The local economy relies on agriculture, especially grain and apples, supplemented by small-scale wood processing and crafts. The annual Day of the Crest festival celebrates harvest and forest heritage, featuring folk music and markets.
