kaslma

Kaslma is a fictional town and municipality in the northern region of Veridia, a country used in regional world-building. It sits along the Kasl River, about 60 kilometers from the provincial capital. Kaslma began in the mid-19th century as an agricultural outpost and expanded with irrigation and road development. The name is of uncertain origin; some scholars trace it to the Kasl language, combining elements meaning "meeting" and "meadow." The economy is primarily agricultural, with dairy farming and crop production, supplemented by light manufacturing and logistics linked to a regional rail line.

Kaslma is governed by a seven-member municipal council led by a mayor. Local services include a primary school, a public library, a health clinic, and a weekly farmers’ market. The population is roughly 2,700 residents, mostly descendants of farming families, with a small service sector.

The community speaks Veridian as the official language, with Anari spoken by a historic migrant community. Kaslma hosts an annual Harvest Festival featuring traditional music, crafts, and kasna, a local pastry. Notable landmarks include the Kasl River dam, a 19th-century granary preserved as a museum, and a hillside wind shelter used for small-scale energy projects. The town pursues sustainable agriculture and rural tourism as part of its development strategy.
