Joaquin is not a person but a valley lying westward, named as the destination to which the Caliph demands that the high mountain of Thir be transported. The Caliph sees the mountain carried through the air toward it, giving the valley a brief place in a marvel-filled episode. No further history or description of the valley is supplied.
Description
Joaquin is described only as a valley lying to the westward. The text provides no details of its size, terrain, vegetation, water, settlement, lighting, or landmarks; its defining visual context is the distant destination of the high mountain of Thir.
