Heimdallr/Vainqueur Street

v **·** e

**Vainqueur Street** (ヴァンクール通り) is the main thoroughfare through Heimdallr, Erebonia, connecting the Dreichels Plaza and Valflame Palace to the north with the Heimdallr Central Station. It is considered the gathering point of all of Erebonia's rich cultures.

## Background

In celebration of the War of the Lions's conclusion, the victorious Emperor Dreichels Reise Arnor walked triumphantly up Vainqueur Street.

This event is what inspired the founder of Plaza Bifrost to give the new department store this very name, as "Bifrost" refers to a "legendary rainbow bridge said to lead warriors to victory". This is a reference to Norse mythology, where the Bifröst is depicted as a burning rainbow bridge said to lead to the residence of the Norse god Heimdallr.

### Background

As Class VII arrives to Heimdallr, they are welcomed by Governor Carl Regnitz and Captain Claire Rieveldt at the station. With Governor Regnitz also being on the board of directors of Thors Military Academy, he assigns both groups' tasks and lodgings, dividing the city across Vainqueur Street for each group's study area. Both groups take separate trams at the street to arrive at their assigned location.
