gebeloneerde

Gebeloneerde is a fictional municipality in the world-building setting of Eldara. It is located in the eastern lowlands of that realm, along the Gebelo River near the foothills of the Gebel Mountains. The landscape combines arable farmland, small woods, and patchwork meadows, with a temperate climate and distinct seasonal variation.

History and administration: The settlement originated in the 12th century as a market village at a river crossing. Over time, a parish church, a bridge, and a few workshops anchored its growth. By the 19th century it functioned as a local trading hub with grain stores and crafts. In the 20th century a small hydroelectric plant was installed to serve the town and nearby farms. Governance is handled by a municipal council; the mayor chairs sessions.

Economy and culture: The local economy rests on agriculture (grain, vegetables, fruit), light manufacturing (woodworking, textiles), and services. The population is a few thousand, with families engaged in farming, trade, and commuting to nearby towns. The annual harvest festival in autumn is a notable cultural event, featuring traditional music, crafts, and a market. The community emphasizes regional identity and preservation of historic architecture, such as the parish church and bridge.
