ukady

Ukady is a small village and municipality in the eastern part of Lorandia, within Eglan Province. The name derives from the old Lorandian word for "meeting place." The settlement lies in a broad river valley, surrounded by deciduous forests and rolling hills, and covers about 28 square kilometers. The population is approximately 1,900 residents, predominantly Lorandian speakers.

Historically, Ukady is first documented in 1324, when it functioned as a crossroads trading post. The 19th century brought mining and timber activity, followed by agricultural modernization in the 20th century. Administratively, Ukady is governed by an elected mayor and a nine-member municipal council, and it is part of the Lorandia regional district.

The local economy centers on agriculture (grain and dairy), small-scale forestry products, and light manufacturing, with public administration and commerce supporting employment. Transportation infrastructure includes regional roads; the nearest railway station is in the provincial capital, about 12 to 15 kilometers away, with regular bus connections. Education comprises a primary school; for secondary schooling residents travel to nearby towns.

Cultural life centers on an annual harvest festival and a 17th-century parish church. A community craft cooperative produces wood carvings and textiles. Notable features include a stone bridge over the Ukady River and a small war memorial in the village square.
