Government
The city is ruled over by the Yami Yakuza guild. The type of government in place is Meritocracy, where the most deserving are in the highest positions.
Defences
A sturdy wall surrounds the entirety of the city. The main gate being surrounded by an especially high and sturdy wall of multiple layers. Most of the town is surrounded by a jungle which serves as a deterrent to any armies. The wall also counts numerous strategically placed towers offering good observation posts and spots for ranged units.
The guild manor and its surroundings (garden, training grounds, guild barracks) are encircled by an inner wall giving an additional protection.
The town also has multiple guard posts which house emergency tunnels leading behind the inner wall. All of the tunnels are constantly under surveillance from both sides.
Industry & Trade
Ever since the people settled near the Jungle its natural resources have been exploded.
Farmers around Osham grow crops and trade them.
A new material called Rubber has lately started to circulate in trade as well.
Trade and industry Osham has always been based mainly on extracting natural resources and transform it somewhere else. One of the largest contributors to the region’s economy is the export of timber. Trees are a treasure of the jungle; mahogany, teak, chestnut, walnut, rosewood and ebony are valued for their beauty and hardness. Agriculture represents an important part of the economy of the region, products including bananas, soy beans, cacao, coffee and maize are produced in land that has been cleared and most of it is produced for exportation. Opportunities for trade improve as transportation through the jungle progresses. The biggest challenge has been to build reliable roads that will not get washed away by rain. There are no bridges on the river or its tributaries so vehicles have reliable way of crossing them. The river is vital for transportation of residents and goods. Another great hurdle that gets in the way of proper transportation through the jungle is the abundance of dangerous creatures that live there. The foreign trade is mainly done by traveling merchants that either travel with caravans or ships.
