Obnas
Industry & Trade
Obnas is the largest port in the Empire, but it is only ice-free for about 100 days from mid-June to the end of September. Obnas is on a bend on the river and this means there is a deep enough channel right at the town and allows for ocean-going ships to dock here.
There is a thriving fishery on the river all year rounds.
Shipping going upriver from Obnas is done in flat bottomed sailed powered barges
Architecture
Obnas is a low lying city that is all constructed from taiga spruce timber. Most buildings are a single storey and only a few are two storeys tall. Houses are constructed on stilts because of the regular spring freshet in June
The city sprawls for about 5 kilometres along the river. Almost everyone has a yard around their homes. Movement around town is best done on the river, in the summer by boat and for six months on river ice road.
Geography
Obnas sits on the north bank of the Qudermiut river. The river is about 2 kilometres wide at this point. The river is the defining feature of the city
