narshe ,

On the eve of the adventure, Narshe is a neutral city that strives to keep the war between the Gestahlian Empire and the Returners away. However, the miners dug up a frozen Esper one day. The Empire quickly found out about this, and sent Terra, Biggs and Wedge there to investigate. The Narshe guards were furious at this and tried to stop them. However, they failed to do so. Despite this, the Esper managed to kill Biggs and Wedge and free Terra from Imperial control. Terra was rescued by Arvis, a Returner living in Narshe who helped her escape. However, the guards caught up to her and cornered her in the mines. Locke Cole, a Thief, along with Mog and ten other Moogles, rescued her, and Locke took her out of Narshe.
