Nassena

Nassena is the capital of Olandra.
85,000Services: The only services that the city has to offer anyone is a safe haven for smugglers, pirates, and bandits. Imports: Slaves are imported from Zazimar and other less scrupulous nations to serve the king on his ambitious projects. In addition, Olandran traders are avid speculators, bringing in valuable commodities from abroad to sell for a generous profit, which supports the royal ambitions. Exports: Nassena is a major shipbuilder, specializing in huge slow vessels that are used for war, trading, whaling, and underwater explorations. Olandra’s swifter raiders and smugglers usually come from Zazimar. However, the city’s shipyards only build for the king and his authorized traders, and for Zazimar interests. The city also has has manufacturers who produce inventive underwater exploration equipment such as shark cages, diving bells and diving suits, which are exported.
The capital of Olandra lies on the eastern coast of the Gulf of Forinse. The city has been thrown into some chaos by the artificial expansion of the city’s harbor and the cutting of a large shipping canal through the south of town to the Amethyst River to the east, all by command of the king.
The city builds ships and underwater exploration equipment. Other than that, there is little that is produced in Nassena for export abroad, though most domestic needs are met. Ships from Nassena sail throughout all the seas of the world, trading avidly, harvesting the ocean’s bounty, and exploiting the sea floor for the treasures of wrecked ships, sunken cities, undersea cultures, and the natural resources of the sea bottom. The city sports large warehouses that store goods gotten by hook or crook from overseas or underseas, to be exported abroad.
King Hufskey’s ambitious harbor expansion and Amethyst River canal are throwing the city into chaos, as entire neighborhoods have been tore up and dug out for this expansion. However, most locals bear the hardship with the understanding that such measures ensure the future prosperity of the kingdom and the city.
