dolaska

Dolaska is a fictional village and civil parish in the central lowlands of Valoria, a country created for illustrative geography. The community lies on the banks of the Luth River and sits at roughly 180 meters above sea level. Dolaska's first recorded mention dates to the 17th century, and it developed as a market stop for farmers bringing grain and fruit to regional fairs. Its layout centers on a stone main street leading to a rectangular village square.

Today the economy blends agriculture with small-scale manufacturing and rural tourism. Orchard cooperatives, a restored windmill, and a light woodworking workshop are notable local employers. The population is about 1,200 residents, with demographics typical of rural settlements in Valoria: aging residents and a modest in- or out-migration.

Notable landmarks include the Church of St. Marek, whose current structure dates to the 12th century with later restorations, and the granite fountain at the square. The annual harvest festival draws visitors from surrounding towns.

Dolaska is connected by regional roads to the capital city and neighboring towns. The nearest railway station is in Aldercrest, about 8 kilometers away. The village has a primary school, a volunteer fire brigade, and is part of Valoria’s district council. For researchers, Dolaska serves as an example of a small, agriculturally oriented rural community with a mixed economy and cultural heritage.
