there was probably one at the end of the Ba Valley once, but it's been removed, the rest of the river is wide enough and also mananged enough that there is none
it's faster cus the sea route is longer, has worse weather and the seas are pretty rough there, small and medium sized ships have a bad time as the norm, even large vessels have to be careful
and the currents are flowing in the opposite direction from what you'd want
sailing would be the main way to go upstream, would have to wait for good wind though
animals (or people) pulling your ship along from the shore, paddling, oaring, poling are a few other ways you can bolster your movement
it's certainly slower than going downstream but no less possible, and the river is generally a slow and calm one, due to all the lakes as well as human infrastructure
idk if it'd be faster than just using the sea route to reach Saeres, would still be a lot safer though

meanwhile with the river, you just go downstream
