wycz

Wycz is a fictional village and civil parish in the country of Veridia, located in Wycz County in the northern part of the Veridian highlands. The landscape is a level to gently rolling river plain, with Black River to the south and small woodlands to the east. The area covers roughly 12 square kilometers and sits at about 180 meters above sea level. The climate is temperate, with mild summers and cold winters.

Wycz is first mentioned in records from 1423, when a small manor and chapel are cited. The village grew around the manor and its agricultural estate, and by the 18th century a parish church, Saint Nicholas, was established. The arrival of the railway nearby in the mid-19th century did not pass through Wycz, but the village benefited from improved roads and markets. In the 20th century, Wycz remained predominantly agricultural, with modest diversification into small crafts and trades.

The population has fluctuated around 800–900 residents in recent decades. The local economy is primarily agricultural, with cereals, potatoes, and dairy as staples, alongside a handful of workshops producing timber goods and textiles. The village has a primary school, a parish church, a village hall, and a volunteer fire brigade. Governance is provided by a parish council within Wycz County, with services coordinated by the county and regional authorities.

Annual events include an autumn harvest festival and a small summer music gathering. Wycz is connected by local roads to the county town and to neighboring villages, with bus services several times per day.
