Raquel

Raquel (ラクウェル), also known as the Entertainment City (歓楽都市), is a city in Lamare Province, Erebonia.
== Background ==
Historically, Raquel has played an important role as hub of the Lamare Province.
It is the nexus where railroads and highways from the provincial capital, Ordis, in the west and Jurai, Aragon and North Ambria in the north converge toward Erebonia's centre. Raquel Station is connected to the Transcontinental Railroad, the Lamare Main Line as well as the norhern Ober and Dnieper Branch Line.
This positioning led to the formation of an entertainment district. Theatres, casinos, gambling dens and high class clubs define the cityscape of Raquel. With the very nature of entertainment at its core, Raquel's public order is incredibly low and acts of violence are an everyday occurrence.
== Locations ==
Maison Ecaille (メゾン・エカイユ) is a multiple-storey apartment complex. On the first floor live Rick and his wife, Merichelle. They were travellers who met each other in Raquel and decided to marry late S.1205/early S.1206. On the second floor lives Old Lady Esmi with Mina, the sister of Jutta who works in Ordis. Near the entrance of Maison Ecaille is the dog Barracuda constantly barking.
Liberty Heights (リバティーハイツ) is a multiple-story apartment complex. On the first floor lives Montell, who particularly dislikes Ash. On the second floor lives Amelia with her newborn, Jusse. Her husband Orsar works away from home. Ash Carbide also used to live here with his foster mother.
