Quoin

The village of Quoin is precisely arranged—buildings, paths, and plants laid out in grid-like geometry that evokes an isometric, 16-bit sprite-based RPG, replete with evenly spaced flower pots, and tropey RPG options. This aesthetic is revealed to be a local cultural identity. The game itself is a first-person action RPG with immersive 3D traversal and minimal UI outside of combat.

Quoin contains

• the Food Court
• Checkov's Tavern
• other shops
• faction-representative NPCs.

Function

The name "quoin" refers to an ornate brickwork motif along the edge of a building, i.e. "a beautiful corner." Quoin also serves as the game's "beautiful corner" in showing a vertical slice of all features for testing. As such, Quoin has one of everything - each type of shop, potion, character race, etc.

Questline

1. The player enters the village of Quoin (pronounced "coin") relatively early in play.
2. Many items in shops are far overpriced for the player, due to their level.
3. Warden of Quoin
4. In gratitude, merchants lower their prices to about market rate. But in dialog, many make a point to remind you that they are doing you a favor.
