Kirov

Kirov (キーロフ, Kīrofu) is a town which appears in Suikoden. Kirov is a port city which thrives on trade. It is the only major city in Dana.

Information
Kirov was a port town located on the north bank of Lake Toran and was a major trading city, known for its fishing. Due to its location in southern Dana, it was a center for trade with the City-State of Jowston.

Over time, the town had become more rustic and was quite sleepy by the time of the Gate Rune War. The lax nature of the Scarlet Moon Empire's control meant a lot of smuggling normally took place in the city although during the war it was mentioned that Imperial control had increased.

Kirov was not considered a particularly picturesque town, attracting few tourists. Still, following the war, the chef Lester opened a specialty stew restaurant called "Lake Surface Sunset", sparking a boom of specialty shops in the town and drawing fans of fine food from far and wide. The most recommended dish is the "Marie's Daily Routine".

The biggest house in Kirov belongs to Kun To, known as the 'Boss' of Kirov by some. Located north of Kirov is the village of Kalekka.
