Darthen

Darthen functions as a neutral coastal city where Seronians and Rekag loyalists live side by side amid their factions' escalating war. Picard proposes its harbors and streets as a compromise site for unarmed peace talks, leveraging the mixed population to ensure acceptability. Salt air fills the air, waves break against docks crowded with fishing boats from both sides, and narrow alleys wind through markets where wary residents trade under flickering lanterns. Tension simmers beneath daily coexistence, positioning Darthen as a fragile bridge for diplomacy.
