Great Fire of Oslo

For three days fires have ravaged the timber city of Oslo and now all but a few buildings in our once-great city lie in ashes. While fire has haunted Oslo before the destruction we face now is so final that it has been suggested we should relocate the city entirely as we rebuild. Instead of building in timber and awaiting the next catastrophe it has been suggested that we rebuild closer to Akershus fortress, using sounder techniques of construction and city planning as befits a capital of our age.\nRebuilding closer to Akershus will also allow us to properly fortify the city, which can be of great benefit in these times. In practice previous rulers have found it hard to prevent the citizens of Oslo to rebuild in whichever materials and mode they wish however, so a proper renovation is likely to be very costly.
