ekillerinde

Ekillerinde is a fictional village used in fantasy literature and tabletop role-playing games. In most depictions it lies in the northern highlands of the imaginary realm of Eldoria, near where the Brin and Lora rivers meet. It serves as a setting for local life and history.

Geography and climate: The village sits at about 1,000 meters elevation, surrounded by pine forests, meadows, and a rocky riverbank. The climate is cool and damp, with long winters, short summers, and seasonal mist that lingers along the valley.

History: Legends trace its founding to a community of farmers seeking refuge after famine, though fictional annals vary. A major flood reshaped the river course in some versions, leading to the rebuilding of stone cottages and the creation of a timber-built market square.

Demographics and culture: Populations are described as a few hundred residents. Eldorian Common is spoken, with local dialect features. Social life centers on the village square, the harvest festival, and woodcarvers’ guilds. Craft traditions include weaving, coopering, and carving.

Economy and infrastructure: The economy relies on subsistence agriculture, forest products, and artisanal workshops. A single road connects Ekillerinde to a regional capital, with an inn, a bridge, and a small cooperative that markets crafts and produce.

In fiction and references: Ekillerinde appears across several fantasy novels and RPG modules. Details vary by author, but recurring motifs include family histories, a disputed inheritance, hidden caves, and seasonal rites. There is no real-world counterpart to the village.
