Gregminster (グレッグミンスター; Guregguminsutā) is a location in Suikoden and Suikoden II.
Description[]
Greminster is the largest city in the Toran Republic, with a population of 19,000. Originally a city called the Holy City of Rupanda, located in Holy Kingdom of Harmonia, it was renamed Gregminster following the establishment of the Scarlet Moon Empire by Kranach Rugner in Solar Year 230.
For the next 230 years, until the fall of the Empire, it served as the central hub of the nation.
The current Gregminster was rebuilt by the 17th Emperor, Barbarossa Rugner (also known as the Golden Emperor), after it was destroyed during the Succession War in the Solar Calendar year 446. In the past, many high-ranking imperial officials resided in the capital, and due to its historical background, the residents of this city have held a slight sense of superiority over other regions.
The city is renowned for its flourishing commerce, with notable specialties including artworks and pottery, which are actively produced. These industries thrived under protective policies implemented by Emperor Barbarossa.
At the center of the city stands the "Golden Goddess Statue" adorning the central fountain, a masterpiece created by the renowned artisan Basil. It is said to bear the likeness of Emperor Barbarossa Rugner’s late wife, Claudia.
After the Toran Liberation War broke out due to political corruption and the 230-year-old Scarlet Moon Empire collapsed, the Toran Republic was founded. Gregminster became the capital of the new republic. Under President Lepant's leadership, it continued to thrive and evolve as a major commercial city.
As the largest city in the country, its architecture is also refined. The white walls and red doors create a striking and beautiful contrast.
