Though it is a town appearing on the war table map, there is literally no information about it beyond being a small town. It doesn't even appear on the map at the top of this page. Therefore, I think I can fudge things a little.
Near the main road running from north Orlais to south around Lake Celestine, Velun has expanded out towards the lake, so it now lies between two important trade routes. Though it has stayed small in size, it is a place for merchants to congregate and send their products over water and land.
The houses are typical for Orlais: brightly colored one or two story houses, built tightly together with narrow alleys between and cobblestone lanes in front just wide enough for carts to pass through and still allow small merchant stalls to be set up. There is a Chantry, stables, one tavern, a windmill, and anything else typical for a small Orlesian town. Children are educated in the home, so there is no school.
Most people in town belong to the middling merchant middle class, though there are lower class families too. Few families have servants, and of those that do, nearly all those servants are human. There is no alienage in Velun, and the few elven families there work as either servants, blacksmiths, laundresses, and the like. Dwarves sometimes pass through or set up stalls for a few weeks before departing again. Like in small towns elsewhere (like Sahrnia) no one in town wears masks or overly fancy clothes, though a few of the richest merchants' wives might own a few of the latest fashions, which they save for visits to more cosmopolitan cities.
The docks resemble the docks at Redcliffe, sending small boats and sometimes larger ships across the lake to trade in Val Firmin or Montsimmard. Boats that can navigate the rivers go even further, eventually making their way out to the Waking Sea to dock in Val Royeaux or Val Chevin, or west towards Val Foret. The land route takes goods to smaller, inland towns.
