ebaühtlase

Ebaühtlase is a fictional town designed for world-building and speculative fiction. It does not correspond to any real place. In the imagined geography of the Valaran region, ebaühtlase lies along a bend of the Ebon River at the edge of oak woodlands.

The name is presented in stories as a compound of elements from Old High German and a local dialect, with a suffix implying a settled place. In some lore, the word evokes both river proximity and a seasonal market cycle.

Geography and governance: The town sits at about 320 meters above sea level, with a temperate climate and rolling hills to the north. It is governed by a mayor and an elected council, and forms part of the Karst Vale federation in many narratives. The population is described as several thousand residents, with a mix of farmers, artisans, and traders.

Economy and history: Ebaühtlase grew as a river crossing in the medieval-like period of its fictional setting, developing a market town economy centered on grain, timber, and crafts. It has a small industrial quarter in some versions of the setting. Transport relies on river traffic and regional roads.

Culture and landmarks: The town hosts an annual spring festival known as Lichttag, celebrating harvest and river life. Notable places in the setting include the Old Town Hall, the Windmill on Hill, and the Saffron Market. References to ebaühtlase appear in in-world guides and encyclopedias within the fictional universe.
