Shenirim

Shenirim sits on the river roughly midway between Gersan and Ahjis, where several tributaries converge before the waterway widens toward the coast. It is a working city: barge construction and repair yards line the southern bank, warehouses cluster near the docks, and the commercial district is organized around the logistics of moving goods rather than the display of wealth.

The Oshim compound in Shenirim is the largest structure in the city and the administrative center of their barge network. Unlike the kerim-reinforced estates of Gersan’s House District, it reads more as a fortified trading house than a noble seat - functional, expanded piecemeal, and built to process information and cargo rather than to impress visitors.

Shenirim’s population is mixed: Janim merchants and administrators, barge workers from across the river routes, and a higher proportion of foreign-born residents than most Dosharen cities. Kyr’elian and Gankoran merchants maintain permanent factors here. The city has the cosmopolitan texture of a place where trade is the only real common language.
