heilunnan

Heilunnan is a fictional region used in worldbuilding and speculative fiction. In the setting, it is described as a semi-autonomous federation region on a temperate continent, with a geography that ranges from river valleys and farmlands to highland plateaus and a small coastline.

The name heilunnan comes from constructed linguistic roots created by authors; translations in fan works vary, with some rendering it as "healing valley" and others as "bright valley."

Administratively, heilunnan is depicted as a semi-autonomous part of a larger federal union. Local government features a regional council elected by districts and a governor appointed by the federation. The region includes urban centers, agricultural belts, and protected natural areas.

In its fictional chronology, heilunnan arises as a crossroads of trading polities and cultural exchange. It experiences reforms in the late medieval period, industrialization in the modern era, and more recent debates over regional autonomy within the federation.

Populations are described as diverse, with multiple ethnic communities and languages sharing a common market language. The economy combines farming, forestry, small-scale manufacturing, and services, with tourism centered on landscapes and historical sites.

Cultural life emphasizes seasonal festivals, traditional crafts, and local cuisine. Notable sites in the canon include the Sunspire Market, the Old Fort of Liris, and the Sacred Hills temple complex.
