Geography[]
Mariamburg is located in the west of the Saint Francisco province in the plains of Ambardia. The city lies in a bowl-shaped land area bordered to the north and east by the Silimbiano hills, a mountain chain that runs the length of the province to the south by the Divario Plain. The city centre is on the east bank of the River Nargassis. It is relatively low-lying, being between 115 to 138 feet above sea level. Much of the inner city, especially in the south, is flat, offering extensive views from many highrise buildings in the city of the foothills and moors of the Divario, which can often be capped with snow in the winter months. Mariamburg's geographic features were highly influential in its early development as the country's first industrial city. These features are its climate, its proximity to a seaport at Porto Francesco, the availability of water power from its rivers, and its nearby coal reserves.
