Oseka
Oseka is an ancient city believed to have been inhabited since almost the beginning of Henin civilization, when the early Henin peoples settled on the coast and began to experiment with sea travel. Once the richest city in the world, Oseka is now a bustling small town built upon the ashes of its wartorn ancestor. Although its days of economic and scientific supremacy are over, residents still have that very same outsized pride in the city they call home.

Strengths
.
It is defined by its strategic position on the Meridian Coast, which today boasts a more modest but no less valuable port. In its heyday, it boasted the largest merchant port in the world. In addition to Oseka's position as the central hub for overseas trade in the surrounding area, it was also renowned for its vibrant night life, high class festivities, and scientific community.
Weaknesses
.
Oseka's main weakness was in its vulnerability to attack via the ocean. It has switched hands many times over the years, as nations fight over who gets to own Osekan wealth, until its final capitulation to the Bes Navy fleet. The Bes Navy attempted to improve the city's fortifications, but viscious airstrikes coming unexpectedly from the mountains would ultimately level the original city.

Modern Points of Interest

Oseka Harbor
Oseka's modern harbor is a chaotic place, filled with busy seamen and hawkers pacing to and fro along the port. The harbor itself is a beautiful vista, should one walk up a few flights of stairs to the observation deck to catch the view above the towering ships.Oseka Memorial Park
The main attraction of Oseka these days, besides as a merchant hub, is the Oseka Memorial Park. This park was created in memory of the thousands killed in the bombing that decimated the original city that the current town is built on top of.Azudis Market Square
A daily market filled with a wide variety of goods, divided into sections depending on the type of business... Maybe to try in vain to dampen the smell of the fish market stalls.The World's Largest Beach Ball
You heard it here, folks. Oseka is home to the world's largest beach ball. Don't try to play with it, though -- the last time it came loose, it rolled into the ocean and was an international nightmare to remove without popping it.Historical Points of Interest
