City of Grancel

v **·** e

The city of **Grancel** (王都(おうと)グランセル), also known as the **Royal Capital** or simply **Grancel**, is the regional capital of the Grancel region, the capital of Liberl and its largest city.

Located on the southeast shore of Valleria Lake, the city is the political and cultural heart of Liberl. Grancel houses the embassies of the neighbouring nations as well as the cathedral where the nation's most important clergymen reside.

## Background

What the city lacks in size compared to the capitals of Liberl's neighbouring nations Erebonia and Calvard, with a population of just around 300,000 people, it makes up for it with its rich history.

It is considered the centre of Liberlian culture and politics. It's the proud home of such tourist attractions as Grancel Castle (The seat of Her Majesty the Queen), Grancel Cathedral (A central hub for the Septian Church), the Grand Arena, embassies for numerous countries and many other world-famous locales. Every year, a Martial Arts Competition is held during the Queen's Birthday Celebration in the Grand Arena, attracting spectators from far and wide.

The region where Grancel is situated, known as the Ahnenburg, is protected on all sides by thick ramparts, which spared it from destruction during the Hundred Days War in S.1192. The Liberlian royal family's highly renowned Erbe Royal Villa, which typically serves as an upscale destination for the general public, can be found to the east of Grancel.

### History

Hello there, beautiful. May I have a moment of your time?Please be aware spoilers for *Trails in the Sky SC* may be present in the following section. Hit [Show] on the right if the show must go on. Adios, amigos!

After the Great Collapse, surviving citizens of the Liber Ark evacuated to the land below and built a city on top of the facility used to seal the Liber Ark within the reaches of the Ahnenburg Wall, giving the wall an additional second purpose. They built a castle for the newly-formed royal authorities, and the city developed from castle's vicinities onward. One of the city's oldest buildings, the Grancel Cathedral, dates back to S.82.

### Background

Estelle and Joshua arrive at Grancel thanks to Professor Alba's help, with the purpose of passing Professor Russell's message to Queen Alicia, but they're told at the Bracer Guild that the Intelligence Division guarding the castle would make entry impossible.

Instead they head to the Grand Arena and witness Zin participating in the first round of the yearly Martial Arts Competition, after which Duke Dunan announces that part of the grand prize for winning will be an invitation to a banquet at the castle. Estelle and Joshua decide to find Zin and convince him to team up in order to obtain entry to the castle, to which he agrees, with Olivier unexpectedly showing up to join them as well.

After defeating the Raven Gang, they witness the Capua Family and 2nd Lieutenant Lorence and the Special Ops soldiers of the Intelligence Division win their fights. Joshua seems to recognize Lorence's fighting style, but dismisses the feeling. Nial meets up with them for another information exchange, and he offers to dig up information for them.

After defeating Kurt's bracer team, they witness the Capuas lose to 2nd Lieutenant Lorence and the Special Ops soldiers, which will be their final rivals. Estelle and Joshua meet up with Nial again to learn what information he managed to obtain. In addition to dossiers on Colonel Richard, Captain Amalthea and 2nd Lieutenant Lorence (whose jaeger background is a mystery), they also learn Richard is looking to marry Princess Klaudia to a foreign candidate.

That same night, they receive a message at their room asking to meet in the Cathedral. The sender turned out to be Julia Schwarz, who was disguised as Sisten Ellen, the one they and Zin rescued previously. After the Royal Guardsmen were blamed for the previous factory incident and arrested, she asks them to rely a message to the head maid of the castle in order to help them speak with the Queen.

Before their final match, they speak with Professor Alba and the other bracers at the stands, with Kurt relating memory issues about a previous job. After they also meet Mayor Klaus, who was also invited to the banquet along with the other regions' mayors, and learning that the Queen seems to be ill and an important announcement will be made soon, they're able to defeat the Special Ops soldiers and earn an invitation to the banquet that same evening.

Once they're able to meet with the Queen and learn of Colonel Richard's plot regarding the black orbment and making Duke Dunan the new king by marrying off Princess Klaudia to an Erebonian prince, they head to the Bracer Guild and start planning an operation to liberate the princess and the other hostages the Intelligence Division has at the Erbe Royal Villa. While gathering allies, they find that Nial has been missing since their last meeting, and Kurt (after some help from Zin) finally remembers that he was the one that first stole the black orbment from the Intelligence Division and sent to Cassius.

Following the rescue of the hostages and the Queen at the castle, and stopping Colonel Richard at the Sealed Area, Estelle and Joshua take a break at the East Block. After Estelle leaves to buy ice cream, Professor Alba approaches Joshua and congratulates him. Joshua confronts Alba about him being the cause of all the memory loss incidents, to which he responds by unlocking Joshua's memories about his true identity: Georg Weissmann. Weissmann further reveals to Joshua that he'd been relying information on the Bracer Guild and Cassius while living with them, and offers him to be free from Ouroboros or rejoin.

Estelle meets Alba on her way back to Joshua, and he congratulates her as well for her advancement to senior bracer before leaving. She returns to Joshua, who acts normally, and they return to the castle.

### Background

Estelle returns to Grancel after her training in Le Locle, where she and the other bracers devise a plan to investigate Ouroboros' movements after the Queen's Birthday Celebrations. After solving incidents in Ruan and Zeiss, Estelle returns to Grancel to support the guild as the day for the signing of the Non-Aggression Pact between Liberl, Erebonia and Calvard approaches.

Her first task has her bring Renne to the guild, who has seemingly been abandoned by her parents in suspicious circumstances. At the same time, she has to investigate a series of threatening letters arriving to various important locations, including embassies and the Liberl News Service. After learning about the remnants of the Intelligence Division still being active and chasing Renne around the city, she gives Estelle a letter from Joshua telling her to meet in Gurune Gate.

However, the letter was a fake, as she meets Kevin instead and they are ambushed by archaisms. Returning to Grancel as soon as possible, they find the bracers unconscious and another letter telling her to attend the "tea party" happening at the port. Together with Kevin and the bracer that hadn't been accompanying her, they make their way to the port, fighting off Special Ops soldiers until they're faced by the Orgueille, a tank powered by the Gospel and commandeered by former Captain Amalthea.

Kevin manages to partially disable the Gospel, preventing the shutdown effect from affecting them, and they're able to disable the tank and defeat the soldiers. Renne appears afterwards and reveals her Enforcer status, and that she was the one behind the letters and providing the remnants with a Gospel, before leaving on an enormous archaism.

During the country-wide Orbal Shutdown Phenomenon, Kloe and Kevin return to Grancel on their own for their business, as well as delivering a Zero Field Generator to the Bracer Guild there. Morris Dalmore, former mayor of Ruan, opens a shop that sells sepith here during this time, having been released on bail.

After delivering the ZFGs to the other guild branches, Estelle and Joshua are told to return to Grancel. While on their way, they spot Ouroboros airships heading to the capital. Bleublanc, Walter, Luciola and Renne lead an assault into the city, heading to the castle while their troops cause chaos in town.

The bracers rush to the castle to stop the Enforcers from kidnapping the Queen and the Princess, as the army fights Ouroboros' jaegers over the city. Unexpectedly, the Intelligence Division remnants appear to help the army against Ouroboros, with Richard himself helping against the Enforcers, having been released as Cassius' ace in the hole. After repealing the attack however, they're immediately informed of an Erebonian tank division functioning without the use of orbments massing beyond the Haken Gate, and the bracers together with Klaudia von Auslese head there to negotiate with the Erebonians.

### Background

From the end of the Jade Corridor, Kevin, Ries, Tita and Julia arrive at Grancel, but empty of people, full of fiends and with the exit blocked by a massive wall. Heading into the Bracer Guild, they find that the telephone there is useless, and head to Grancel Castle. However, fiends ambush them and the entrance to the castle gets blocked by a magical barrier, forcing them to investigate the rest of the city.

First, they find the Sealing Stone for Mueller Vander in the Erebonia's embassy, which unlocks the west side of the city. There, they find the Bobcat where Kevin and Ries had fought Gilbert, and after retrieving the key for it, they find the Sealing Stone for Josette Capua. Afterwards, they head to the Grand Arena, where they fight a Dark Bringer for Joshua's Sealing Stone, which dispels the barrier blocking the castle.

## Locations

The city is divided into four blocks: North Block, East Block, West Block, and South Block. Entering from Grancel through its main gate in the south from the Royal Avenue leads to its main street, which stretches until the entrance of the Grancel Castle, the prestigious symbol of the city and seat of Liberl's monarchy.

### South Block

The South Block welcomes visitors through its main gate with a statue of Liberl's symbolic white falcon erected on top of the fountain and several food carts stationed near there. The area mostly consists of small pockets of residential and commercial buildings, such as several shops, an orbal factory, the Fisherman's Guild and the Grancel Bracer Guild.

### North Block

Further up the road, the North Block is consist of mostly residential albeit only inhabited by influential people, such as the Royal Army General Morgan, and features only one commercial building, Hotel Roenbaum for weary travellers and tourists. The block leads to the entrance of Grancel Castle just further up north.

### East Block

The Grancel Landing Port and both embassies of Erebonia and Calvard are located in the East Block, making it an important area for foreign and diplomatic matters in Liberl. In celebration of Queen Alicia's birthday, the Grand Arena hosts a martial arts tournament every year. Liberl's largest warehouse, the Edel Department Store, and its History Museum are also located in the East Block.

### West Block

The West block acts as a residential area for the majority of the population in Grancel. From the West Block it is possible to access Grancel's Harbor, which is located along the southwestern banks of Valleria Lake, which connects to the Azelia Bay through the Roubine River. The Grancel Cathedral and Liberl News Service building are also located in the West Block.

The pavements and buildings in all blocks are made of stone, giving the city a traditional, historical and relaxing atmosphere.
