Wharf District

The Wharf District is located on the north side of Omrazir, fronting on Rassi Bay with the Strait of Sorrows beyond that. Although this constitutes the chief harbor of Omrazir proper, it is very much overshadowed by the nearby village of al-Sakhna, which functions as the city's true port. Nevertheless, the wharf district is still busy with the arrival and departure of passenger ships and freighters carrying especially precious goods -- and in particular, books. Less glamorous but still more vital, many of Omrazir's local fishermen launch their small craft from here, bringing back their hauls to sell in the neighboring Fish Market.

The Wharf District rests at the very bottom of the hill upon which Omrazir is built, and is the lowest point in the city. The great Via Magna begins at the west end of the wharf, and the Via Maris runs east-west above it.
