Conde Petie Conde Petie is the settlement of the dwarven race in " Final Fantasy IX " , located on the Outer Continent . The town doubles as a border gate to a mountain path that leads to Iifa Tree and Madain Sari . A single flat building shaped like a bridge , Conde Petie was built astride two Iifa roots . This location was chosen , according to Darcy Skywatcher , for its proximity to both the mountains and the forests that the dwarves consider sacred , and for its ample sunlight . Conde Petie receives few visitors , save for " pyntie - het " traders from the Black Mage Village . To gain entry , visitors must say the dwarves ' sacred greeting , " Rally - ho ! " , preferably with a wide mouth and raised hand . Nuts and berries , some of which are brought by black mage traders , are a staple food source . Boiled owl , seasoned oglop , fried rootbeans , and pumpkin bombs are also popular delicacies . The symbol of Conde Petie is a Kirkboat , where Father David Heavenguard blesses marriages . Prior to the events of " Final Fantasy IX " , 99 couples had undergone the ceremony . Story . When the party first arrives at Conde Petie , Vivi is surprised the dwarves aren ' t scared of him , and confused as to why they speak to him as if they already know him . When a black mage arrives to trade with the dwarves , Vivi is shocked and tries to approach him , but the black mage flees . Harold Pathknower mentions that if they ' re looking for the " pyntie - hets " , they can find their village in the southeastern forest . Vivi wants to go there and the party leaves . After visiting the Black Mage Village , the party learns Conde Petie ' s Sanctuary could lead them to Kuja and decide to return to the dwarven town .

Garnet agrees to marry Zidane , and Vivi and Quina may either get married as well or sneak past the guards during a ruckus caused by Eiko , a girl who infiltrates the town time to time to steal food . With permission to enter the Sanctuary , the party moves onwards to the Conde Petie Mountain Path . As with Esto Gaza , neither the town of Conde Petie nor the mountain path are accessible after the party has visited Terra , due to the Iifa roots blocking all entrances . Locations . Entrance .
