Greenhill City (グリンヒル市, Gurinhiru Shi) is a location in Suikoden II.
Overview[]
Greenhill is located to the northwest of Two River City, in the Greenhill Principality. Greenhill City is one of the 5 major State cities, the others being Muse City, South Window City, Two River City, and Tinto City.
Greenhill City is an academic city that developed around New Leaf Academy and serves as the center of learning within the City-States of Jowston. The city is broadly divided into two areas: the residential district for citizens and the campus grounds of New Leaf Academy.
In the residential district, inns, general stores, and various shops line the streets. Students in uniforms are often seen strolling around for a break. The inns are known for their specialty dishes, with tempura and pizza being particularly popular.
At the center of Greenhill City is New Leaf Academy, which handles a wide range of subjects such as rune studies, history, appraisal techniques, and blacksmithing skills. Its curriculum is hands on, and the academy produces many outstanding graduates every year.
Flag of Greenhill City[]
The image color of Greenhill City is green. The city’s flag features an intricately designed emblem, with a cross pattern at its center. This design is based on the crest of New Leaf Academy, which serves as the city’s core institution.
History and Lore[]
City-State[]
The flag of Greenhill
The newest of the five city-states, Greenhill was part of Muse Principality, until it declared its autonomy in SY 373, with then-Mayor Julia of Muse granting approval. New Leaf Academy was originally established in SY 362 as a school for the children of regional elites, under the name "Grand Leaf Academy." Its founder was Alen Wisemail. In SY 392, the academy underwent reforms.
The region has always relied heavily upon the academy for income, but this had become more troublesome as enrollment fell harshly prior to the outbreak of the Dunan Unification War.
The Greenhill region struggled during its time as a city state with some disputes with the Karaya Clan; former mayor Alec Wisemail even participated in a scheme to murder the then cheif of the Karaya Clan, Kinua.
Highland Conflict[]
During the Dunan Unification War, Greenhill was first attacked by the Highland's 4th Army. Greenhill managed to hold off the 4th Army due to the help of an "expert strategist, "Nash Silverberg", who was really the Harmonian agent Nash Latkje. Their ability to withstand the Highland Army was only temporary. In a clever strategy orchestrated by Jowy Atreides, a few months later the town was flooded with Muse refugees, reducing the food supply of the enclosed principality dramatically. Infighting quickly broke out between the refugees and the citizens, leaving them with no force to fight any invading army.
Teresa Wisemail, the then-acting mayor of Greenhill, was forced by the Highland invasion to go into hiding, lest she be forced to completely had over Greenhill to them. Catching wind of the situation in Greenhill, Riou and several other Allied Army soldiers rescued Teresa, who would become an important ally in their army. Forced to leave her homeland, she promised she would return. Near the end of the war, she made good of that promise, liberating the city from Highland and returning to great fanfare by her people.
Post Dunan Unification War[]
Following the end of the Dunan Unification War, Teresa returned home to Greenhill and succeeded her father as mayor of Greenhill. This post was not to last, as soon following the war Teresa became Acting President of the Dunan Republic, and following the elections of the next year, became the first President of the Dunan Republic.
