'''Zahan''' is an isolated fishing village located on a small island in southeastern [[Torland]] in ''[[Dragon Quest II]]''. It is the very first island town in the series, as well as the first tropical location. Two important treasures are on the island, being the [[Gold Key]] and the [[Subtle Shuttle]].

Zahan is located in the southeastern most corner of the world map. It is east of [[Burrowell]] and northwest of [[Rippleport]]. It is nearly adjacent to the [[Shrine West of Zahan]], which players can enter immediately after taking control and exploring [[Middenhall]].


==Overview==
Zahan is a required location in order to retrieve the [[Golden Key]], which is a critical item from completing the game. The town is populated almost entirely by women and small children as many of their husbands and fathers are participating in a seasonal fishing voyage. The golden key was owned and hidden by a fisherman in Zahan who died on a fishing voyage. However, his dog knows the location of the key and pulls the heroes to where it is located after they speak to him. Searching in the specific tile yields the key. The mythical shuttle is also located in Zahan within the shrine to [[Rubiss]]. In order to retrieve it, the heroes must possess the [[Ultimate Key]].
Zahan is a required location in order to retrieve the golden key which is a critical item from completing the game. The town is populated almost entirely by women and small children as many of their husbands and fathers were lost at sea. The theme of an isolated area controlled by women would become a recurring theme in the series, most notably in the queendom of [[Femiscyra]].


Before the fishermen's catastrophic accident, Zahan was a prosperous city-state that kept in contact with the greater world by use of a [[teleportal]] on an adjacent island. With the island's boats in disrepair and the seas populated with ferocious beasts, the remaining inhabitants have become stranded.

==Trivia==
*The men of the village being gone for long stretches of time in order to retrieve fish for the village may have been the inspiration for the annual fishing voyage of [[Pilchard Bay]].
*Zahan is the first instance of a town being occupied almost exclusively by women in the series, a theme used more prominently in [[Femiscyra]].
