The Origin - Wylderness Roleplay

The City of Osheyn

Osheyn is situated next to the ocean, where the Oshthapee river meets the sea. It delivers goods to many smaller, less known towns, and its fields are quite prosperous. There are two main harbours in Osheyn, not including the rather derelict smuggler's cove. Both harbours are well manned and guarded, but one leads to the slums and the other to the city mansions.

Let us begin with the richer and more pleasant of the two harbours, known as the Aurem Harbour. It is the location where more pricey objects are unloaded, jewels, silk and the rarer meats. Only the richest of captains can pay to dock here, the rest come into port in the Ragman's Harbour, let's speak of it shall we?

The Ragman's Harbour is more likely to have thieves lying around, and is full of unpleasant taverns and accommodations. It isn't necessarily a bad place, but if you take the wrong streets leaving, you'll end up in the slums. Most streets lead to where the more average folk live though, to countless marketplaces and squares.

The slums, a dirty and unpleasant place, with the smell of rotting fish and sewage hanging in the air. Why don't the people living here leave? You might ask, well, they're more likely to find a job here than in the other cities, especially if they have no qualifications. Entire families live and die here, countless species live in the slums.

Osheyn certainly has the largest difference in classes, with the richest of the rich and the poorest of the poor living beneath its walls. Those with money live prosperously, while those who for various reasons cannot have that same money live in the slums, and the slums haven't existed for long. It is the fault if a series of lame and lazy governors, since the elections of Osheyn have become unfair.

A wall separates the slums from the middle class and another wall stands between them and the rich. During the mast fifty years, things have changed in Osheyn, and only the rich and a small amount of the middle class are permitted to vote. This is not how the system is meant to be run, but it has become this way, and the slums have grown and grown.
