Qote

Qote is known as the firearm capital of Mimi. Open carry is not just legal—it’s expected. Every resident of Qote owns a firearm, and the streets are filled with a mix of antique muskets, revolvers, and modern Magha-enhanced weapons. Despite not having its own arms factories (which are based in Kings), Qote is the largest buyer and distributor of firearms in the empire.
Qote also serves as a military training center for the Imperial Sky Navy, with an academy that trains airship officers, from Ensigns to Admirals.

Government

Law and Order

Despite the prevalence of firearms, Qote has a strong sense of community discipline. Disputes are settled quickly, and anyone caught abusing firearm laws faces banishment from the city—one of the harshest punishments in Qote.

Infrastructure

Canal System

Qote’s canals drain the marsh water into the ocean, preventing the city from flooding. These canals are lined with dockyards and warehouses, supporting trade and housing barges that transport goods throughout the province. The canals also serve as defensive barriers, making it harder for invaders to navigate through the city.

Imperial Sky Navy Academy

Qote is home to the prestigious Imperial Sky Navy Academy, where airship officers are trained for service across the empire. The academy produces ensigns, lieutenants, captains, and even admirals, making it one of the most important military institutions in Ysanaf.
Training Airships: The academy uses decommissioned airships as training vessels, giving students hands-on experience.
Graduation Ceremony: Graduation from the academy is a city-wide event, marked by airship parades and marksmanship competitions.

Gun Markets and Firing Ranges

Qote is home to bustling gun markets, where merchants sell everything from antique pistols to cutting-edge firearms imported from Kings. Many residents are expert marksmen, and the city features numerous firing ranges, where competitions are held regularly.
