'''Daquin''' is a port-city on [[Baleros]] known for hosting the recent [[Games at Daquin]] for [[Niers Astoragon|Niers Astoragon's]] strategist students. == Overview == {{quote |quote=The city of Daquin was one of Baleros’ many port cities. It wasn’t quite a metropolis, but it was large. Its harbor could hold as many as eight warships at the same time without being overcrowded; the buildings were by and large stone, a product of a nearby quarry and the city’s rich history. |speaker={{chl|6.22 D}} }} Narrow alleyways. An unfortunate lack of an [Architect]’s oversight when constructing the thoroughfares. You could hold an army in some of the streets. Others are too wide to easily block. The buildings are stone and wood; many with multiple stories. Some have doors that connect between buildings; Lizardfolk design. No sewers, though.{{ref|6.22 D}} == Geography == In terms of size, the city is considered large, but not massive. Elvallian is three times bigger than the city.{{ref|6.22 D}} The city is over 114 miles away from Elvallian as the sparrow flies,{{ref|6.22 D}} and 10 days by ship from the [[Order of Seasons|Order of Seasons']] headquarters using unknown skills<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/09/07/6-42-e/ Chapter 6.42 E]</ref> == Population and Government == Daquin is a [[Lizardfolk]] city meaning that over 1/4 of its population is Lizardfolk. Daquin has a sitting council running it, not a mayor.{{ref|6.22 D}} The known members of the council are as follows: * Councilmember Ulli - Lizardman * Councilmember Felit - Dullahan woman * Unnamed Dullahan man * 3 other unnamed Lizardman councilmembers{{ref|6.22 D}} == [[Games at Daquin]] == The games at Daquin were a large-scale competition among the students and some alumni from the [[Titan’s School|Titan's School]] against [[Tulm the Mithril]]. The goal of the competition for the students to use any preparation and strategy they could come up with to avoid capture by the "seekers" and also be the first to return to a 10x10 foot area around Tulm at the center of the city. The goal of the seekers would be to capture any students and ensure that nobody entered that area. For every student captured, the soldier would earn 10 gold coins. If a student made it into that area first then they would win the game, earning the right to ask one question of Niers. If Tulm and his company captured or subdued all the participants, he would earn the question. {{quote |quote=This game is meant to teach you what it is like to be alone. Cut off from your forces. Isolated. But more than that; it’s a test of wits. Are you better than my former students? Can you seize victory from them and claim the prize? And yes, the prize is real. To anyone who wins, I’ll answer any question of your choice. There’s also wine; I enjoy a drink, so the lucky student who fulfills the game’s requirements first will share a few cups with me in my quarters at their leisure. |speaker=Niers to the gathered students{{ref|6.22 D}} }} == Notable Features == The harbor has an open, bowl-shaped design with external watchtowers and a seagate that could be closed.{{ref|6.22 D}} == Trivia == * Daquin has "very fine" prawns<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/06/01/5-21-d/ Chapter 6.21 D]</ref> == References == [[Category:Locations]] [[Category:Cities]] [[Category:Baleros]]
