Daaven

Industry & Trade

The Port of Daaven is the most important point of entry and departure for goods, resources, and other types of cargo, making Daaven the commercial hub of The Isle of Popkin.
Many service business can be found in the vicinity of the port, catering primarily to the sailors who spend time on-shore while their ships are in port. These include taverns, restaurants, inns, houses of flesh, tailors, barbers, money-changers, magical messaging offices, etc.

The Daaven Teleport Hub operated by PortBlue gained greatly in importance after the Hightower Teleport Hub was inundated by a lava flow in 4761. Although the Daaven hub was originally designed for teleporting cargo, it has successfully taken on the Hightower hub's tourism traffic.

History

About 400 years ago, after the arrival of mainlander humans and elves to The Isle of Popkin but before they had become the dominant economic and political groups on the island, the city of Daaven was devastated by a lava flow erupted from Amaan Din. Although the proximity of Yadruu and its druids prevented much loss of life, close to 75% of the structures in the city were obliterated as the lava washed into the sea, partially filling the existing harbor with new land. It was the economic destruction wrought by this disaster that enabled the island's new Human population to begin greatly expanding its power.
