Burmecia Burmecia , Realm of Eternal Rain is a city - state in the northwestern part of the Mist Continent on Gaia in " Final Fantasy IX " . It is Freya Crescent ' s hometown . Inhabited by the Burmecian s , Burmecia is a walled , multi - leveled , and warren - like city built around the king ' s palace and showered by constant rain . In comparison to Lindblum ' s industrial revolution style and Alexandria ' s high medieval style , Burmecia has a distinctly Gaelic or Norse design style . Burmecia is the only nation on the Mist Continent that lies below the Mist , though the constant rain that falls over the area there may dissipate the harmful aspects of the Mist . The Burmecians train to become Dragon Knights . Story . It is unclear when the kingdom of Burmecia was formed , but it is sometime before the summoner tribe left Alexandria , as the Desert Star was given to the kingdom for safe keeping around year 1300 . The question of the ownership of the Desert Star triggered a civil war . Some of the citizens of Burmecia separated from the main populace due to the Burmecians ' taste for war and migrated to the Vube Desert , where they created their own nation of Cleyra . Though two different nations , both the Burmecians and Cleyran s are of the same heritage . The Desert Star was brought to Cleyra and it powers the sandstorm that shields the city from the outside world . Freya Crescent grew up in Burmecia , and was romantically involved with Sir Fratley . Fratley left Burmecia and never returned . Unable to get over her loss , Freya left Burmecia as well to search for him . During her travels she met Zidane Tribal . Freya partakes in the Festival of the Hunt in Lindblum hoping to meet Fratley , and ends up aiding Zidane in felling the Zaghnol , the strongest monster at the hunt . After the festivities word arrives that Burmecia has been attacked by the Alexandrian army of black mages led by Kuja and General Beatrix . The city was taken with great loss on the Burmecians ' side , although many fought to the death to defend the citadel and its lord . By the time Zidane and the party arrive , the city is in ruins , with the scattered bodies of the Burmecian soldiers and citizens strewn throughout the city . Zidane must collect the Protection Bell from under the King ' s bed to unlock the door that leads to the ruined palace courtyard , where they meet several fleeing Burmecians , including one that Zidane saves from being crushed by collapsing rubble . In a secluded armory room , the party meets Stiltzkin . They scale a decrepit statue to the apex of the palace , where Queen Brahne , Kuja , and Beatrix wait . Beatrix defeats the party , and Brahne plans to invade the neighboring city of Cleyra . Beatrix follows her , and Kuja mocks the party before mounting his Silver Dragon , taking off into the skies . It is revealed that many of the surviving Burmecians ( including the King ) took refuge in Cleyra . Their shelter is short - lived , as Brahne summons the eidolon Odin to destroy the town . Burmecia , unlike Lindblum and Alexandria , is never rebuilt , but after reuniting after the former ' s adventure with Zidane is over , Freya and Fratley discuss rebuilding it . The Burmecians are scattered across Gaia , even as far as Esto Gaza . If the party travels to Burmecia after felling Soulcage at the Iifa Tree , the rain no longer falls , suggesting that the city ' s climate has something to do with the Mist . When the Mist reappears after Terra ' s destruction , the city is again plagued by never - ending rain . Quests . Stellazzio . One of the Stellazzio coins for Queen Stella is located in Burmecia .

If the player ' s inventory is full of any one item on Stiltzkin ' s item pack , he will not sell the items to the party . It is not mandatory to buy the items if one wants to keep meeting Stiltzkin , but if the party buys all of Stiltzkin ' s items in all locations he is found , he will reward the party with a Ribbon at the end of his journey in the North American and PAL versions of " Final Fantasy IX " .
