eblecon

Eblecon is a small municipality located in the southeastern region of the fictional country of Veridia. With a land area of approximately 12 square kilometres, its population was recorded as 1,432 inhabitants according to the 2021 national census. The town sits at an altitude of 320 metres above sea level and is surrounded by rolling hills that are part of the Verdant Range, providing a mild temperate climate with average annual temperatures ranging from 12 to 18 degrees Celsius.

The origins of Eblecon can be traced back to the late 17th century, when a group of settlers from the neighboring province of Louren moved in to cultivate the fertile valley soil. The town was officially chartered in 1723, during the reign of King Aric II, and was named after the local river, the Eblecon River, which joins the larger Lúr River two kilometres downstream. Throughout the 19th century, Eblecon developed modest artisan industries, most notably in basket weaving and ceramic production.

In the modern era, agriculture remains the primary economic activity, with the cultivation of wheat, barley and vineyards dominating the landscape. Tourism has also begun to play a role, driven by the town’s preserved 18th‑century architecture and annual folk festival, which celebrates traditional Veridian music and dance. Local governance is managed by a mayor and council, and the municipality shares administrative services with the nearby towns of Belmont and Gullane. Eblecon continues to maintain its rural charm while gradually integrating contemporary infrastructure and community services.
