Dahl
Location from Foundation by Isaac Asimov
Working-class sector of Trantor — heat sinks, knife-fighters, and the rough edge of the world-city where Raych grew up and Seldon learned that Trantor's underclass had its own kind of strength.
Also known as: Dahl Sector, the Dahlite Sector
What They Know
- Dahl's heat-sink workers maintain Trantor's thermal management — their strikes can cripple the planet within days
- Knife-fighting is a cultural tradition and mark of identity in the sector
- Raych, Seldon's adopted son, grew up in Dahl's streets
- The sector is working-class and looked down upon by upper Trantor, fueling aggressive local pride
- Seldon's time in Dahl taught him that psychohistory's statistical models missed the texture of how people actually lived
