Oras (Or-A-s)
A former town on the Floar Peninsula, was razed by the conquering army during a revolt. Used to be a prime port city.
Industry & Trade
The city was surrounded by small fields worked on by independent farmers, but those farms only fed a small portion of the population, instead the rest of the food came in through trade. Now the town itself had very little to offer outside medicinal herbs and coal, so the tradespeople would often trade for one thing, with something they got from another trade.
Infrastructure
Used to be a massive shipping port with docks as long as the city. The space required to house not only the ships themselves, but their saliors and cargo took up a good half of the city. Roads split the city into tiny little parts, it was once said there was not a place on the planet that did not have a land or sea route to Oras.
Districts
Oras didn't have any traditional districts, but as a major port city it had more than a few ethnic neighborhoods. Typically Poemean and Polsep citizens lived further away from the ports unless if they where sailors themselves, then they would live in a specific area by the eastern docks, meanwhile the large Dori population took up much of the southwestern end of town.
Guilds and Factions
The tradesmen's guild had it's headquarters in Oras up until it's destruction, where it moved around a lot until finally settling in Marinas.
History
After being coquered by Conquertia 's armies in 12 CE, the town was increasingly squeezed for resources, leading to a series of revolts that eventually lead to the army razing the city.
