tolllanes

Tolllanes is a fictional municipality and the administrative center of the Tolllanes District in the country of Asteria. Located in the central highlands, it sits at roughly 700 meters above sea level and is set among rolling farmland, pine forests, and a slow-moving stream that runs through the valley.

The settlement appears in regional chronicles dating to the 13th century; it developed as a market town and gained local self-government with a municipal council in the 19th century. Today Tolllanes elects a mayor and a town assembly within the national framework.

The local economy centers on agriculture—primarily vineyards, olives, and cereals—along with small manufacturing and services. The town is connected by a regional road network; public transport consists mainly of bus services to nearby towns, with the regional capital accessible by longer bus routes.

Tolllanes hosts a modest population of a few thousand residents, with a mix of families and older residents. It holds an annual harvest festival, a weekly market, and cultural events at the central square and parish church. Landmarks include the Church of Santa Maria and the remains of Tolllanes Castle.

Public services include a primary school and a library; a secondary school operates in a neighboring town. Health care is provided by a local clinic, with more advanced services available in the regional capital.
