Known far and wide as the “gypsy planet,”
Paquin is home to more carnivals and sideshows,
galleries and theatres than you could shake a cruisersized
stick at. It also seems to be home to every conartist
and swindler in the system.
When it was being terraformed, Paquin was
chosen to host a grand opera house. Paquin’s unique
atmosphere produces sunrises and sunsets the likes
of which would lift even the burden of death, with
colors ranging from purple to blue to red to orange.
This stunning display provides a wonderful natural
backdrop for the opera house, which is located on
the shore overlooking a vast ocean.
As the new opera house brought theater lovers
to the planet, more theatres were built to take
advantage of the new trade. Paquin is the place to
see all manner of entertainment from Noh theatre
to experimental dance. Many new plays debut here,
and those that become popular travel to the Core
where they play for the elite. Artists and writers
make Paquin their home to be “closer to the muse.”
Paquin is the artistic center of the Border worlds
and rivals Sihnon in terms of culture (though the
people of Sihnon will get all manner of indignant
denying this!).
Like other worlds, Paquin has a dark side.
Countless carnivals and sideshows dot the world,
providing good honest entertainment for the prairie
folk, featuring circus acts and magic shows, freaks
and jugglers. But there are those carnies who exist
purely to fleece their patrons of all their cash or use
their bright lights as cover for even darker activities.
