plandrivna

Plandrivna is a rural village in the municipality of Tormund, in the North Ardentia region of the fictional country of Ardentia. It is situated on the plains near the Vireth River, about 40 kilometers north of the regional capital Solhaven. The population is around 1,100 residents as of 2023.

The name Plandrivna is derived from local language elements plân- meaning field and driv- meaning grove, with the ‑na suffix denoting a place. The spelling reflects historical variation in medieval records.

The landscape is primarily agricultural, with corn and dairy farming. The surrounding countryside features mixed forests and small wetlands; the Vireth River provides irrigation and occasional floodplain habitats.

Plandrivna appears in records from the 14th century and grew as a farming community. It gained a small market in the 17th century, declined modestly during the 19th century industrialization as larger towns attracted trade, and later experienced modernization with improved roads and utilities.

Today the local economy centers on agriculture, especially cereal crops and dairy farming, supplemented by woodworking and small-scale crafts. A rural inn and several guesthouses support rural tourism.

The village hosts an annual harvest festival in autumn and maintains traditional crafts such as wickerwork and embroidery. The population is predominantly ethnically Ardentian with a local dialect spoken alongside the official language.

Plandrivna is governed by the Tormund municipal council and contributes to the Nord Ardentia regional assembly. It is accessible by regional roads and bus services; the nearest rail connection is in Solhaven, about 40 kilometers away.

Notable sites include the 17th-century Church of St. Helena, the historic Windmill of Elders and the nearby Elderswood Nature Reserve.
