Qin Town, one of several settlements in the Earth Kingdom named for Qin the Great, is a city on the Great Qin Road in the far North of Yongganguo. It was founded during the Earth Kingdom Civil War. When the Great Qin Road was built, many caravansarais and roadhouses were built in remote areas, but occasionally whole towns were founded; such is the case for Qin Town.
Qin Town is located at one of several waterfalls over the Northern Divide, and overlooks a Nitanese city in the lowlands north of the cliffs. A switchback road connects them, but there are no locks, as the river associated is not navigable by large boats much south of Qin Town. The town is built mostly into the cliff face of the Northern Divide, though it has fortified watch towers and gate structures rising up from the ground level.
The area has several geothermal hot springs, some of which are used to heat the town via channels in the stone, or provide hot water for cleaning and bathing. Formerly, the hot springs appeared below the northern divide, but when Qin's engineers built Qin Town, they diverted most of them by deep tunneling to serve the town.
It is a significant station for the Yonggan National postal service, where mail is exchanged between settlements in the Gulf of Rong and Carki-Khan mountains, among other places.
