Hilton

"'All commerce and trade with other continents of Expel are funneled through [Hilton]. Hilton is also home to one of the only shops specializing in musical instruments.' ~ PRIMA's Official Strategy Guide"

Hilton is a town and the only port within the Kingdom of Lacour. Hilton is located in the west of the continent and benefits as the middleman for all Expellian trade between El and Cross. After the fall of Clik, Hilton became the only commercial seaport with access to El (the other remaining access point, the Lacour Front Lines, is reserved only for military use).

General
Hilton is a small-to-mid-sized trading city in the continent of Lacour, with a non-playable character "population" of 21. Hilton's economic center is the port to the west, with businesses and homes to the east. City residents are less materially affected by the events of the Sorcery Globe than by those in Lacour or Linga, but they will make their anxieties known in conversation.

As a trade harbor, with shops dedicated to the arts. Hilton has no observed government apparatus or religious institutions. The town stations no garrison, and the only soldiers are those that accompany the party during the exploration of the Hoffman Ruins.

The city maintains trade with Herlie and, prior to the arrival of the Sorcery Globe, with ports on El (probably to the city of Tenue, pre-collapse). Hilton is Lacour's only port and trade between the three continents of Expel usually runs through Hilton.

Story
"For the previous story location, see Herlie: Story. For the next location, see Lacour: Story."

The party arrives at Hilton fresh off a boat from Herlie, on their way to the capital of Lacour. Optionally, if the party spends the night at the inn Hilton Island, Rena secretly follows Claude as sneaks out of the hotel room at night. Rena watches as Claude uses his communicator to attempt contact with the Calnus, and then wonder what about Earth and his family. This cutscene can only appear the first time the party arrives in Hilton from Herlie, without exiting the city. It is only available as Claude.

Later, after the events at the Sanctuary of Linga, the party accompanies Leon D.S. Geeste through Hilton on their way to the Hoffman Ruins.
