Travel by Water
Although water travel isn't used frequently in most cases, due to an increased density of infrastructure in the past 1000 years, it's continually gaining favour.
The omish do this not by using a paddle, but their own hands to decide speed and direction of the boat. Their boats are intentionally designed in a way that leaves little space between the edge of the boat and the surface of the water. This way, they can glide their hand into the water and manipulate the stream in whatever way they need it. Having to not only manage the speed of the boat, but also change the flow of the river requires a lot of magic, however, so it's usually recommended to travel in groups for long travels via river.
River Travel
This unique way of travelling is only used in Omarus. The country has the highest density of river occurences and with omish culture being so focused on knowing and living together with your neighbours as well as the various pilgrimages every one has to undergo if they want to be acknowledged religiously, travel by river became a natural thing to do.The omish do this not by using a paddle, but their own hands to decide speed and direction of the boat.
