Editing Daquin (section)

== [[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=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.
