Crossbell information in details History The history of Crossbell is incredibly complex. Located historically at the convergence point between the Erebonian Empire and Calvard Republic, the city has been site of an extraordinary number of battles between various groups of people. Origins With its geographical position along a route between Erebonia and Calvard, Crossbell became an important trade centre in West Zemuria. The wars from the Dark Ages continued during the Middle Ages, laying ruin to whatever had become of the city of numerous occasions. From c. S.600 to S.1130, ownership of the area changed at least five times. The territory was a province of Erebonia[1] when it was proposed to have a tributary state established, over which both nations would gain suzerainty. Both nations agreed to the proposal and Crossbell was established. Crossbell became the heart of Zemuria's international economy. Crossbell became the test site for the Epstein Foundation's Orbal Network, a direct data connection between orbal computers within Crossbell and with Leman. Despite Crossbell's growth and its interest to gain a more global point of view, the state's chances for proper sovereignty remained low. Geography Crossbell is located in western Zemuria. It is landlocked, bordered by to the west by Erebonia, separated by the Erebonia operated Garrelia Fortress; on the east, it is bordered by Calvard. In the centre of Crossbell lies its capital, Crossbell City, which is technologically advanced in contrast to the few surroundings villages, except St. Ursula Medical College in the south. Southeast of the capital lies Lake Elm. Mishelam Resort and Mishelam Wonderland is built south of it on the banks of the Marshland of the Blue. To protect itself from external threats, Crossbell makes use of natural defenses in addition to two gates. In the west, across from Garrelia Fortress and the adjacent ravine, stands Bellguard Gate; it is protected in the east by Tangram Gate, built amidst the Tangram Hills, and the Cyre River, which flows alongside Crossbell's eastern border into Calvard.

Although Crossbell has the right of self-government as long as it is granted by Erebonia and Calvard, it does not hold state sovereignty. The highest authority in the state is jointly shared by the Mayor and Speaker of the Diet. Crossbell's mayor and the members of its parliament are directly elected through the means of democratic voting. Mayor: The highest-ranking official in Crossbell along with the Speaker of the Diet. This position is elected by the citizens of Crossbell in a democratic process. The mayor is responsible for both the city's administration and foreign affairs. When Henry MacDowell decided not to seek re-election after first stint as mayor, the position was temporarily held by Dieter Crois. Following a failed attempt at independence and the Crossbell Campaign, Crois would be deposed and MacDowell would fill in as a provisional mayor. Crossbell Diet: The highest legislative authority in Crossbell. The Diet is responsible for creating, debating, amending, and passing laws and policies that govern the state. It’s highest position - the Speaker of the Diet – shares the highest power in the government with the mayor. The Diet is composed of elected representatives who are chosen by the citizens of Crossbell. Given its suzerain status, the Diet is defined by two opposing factions: the Imperial Faction and the Republican Faction. Each faction supports Erebonia or Calvard respectively. Other Government Institutions: General Affairs Department: 1st Division: In charge of the management and administration of Orchis Tower. The head of the division is Chief Moletto. 2nd Division: In charge of the management for the Crossbell Diet Building and reception hall within Crossbell City Hall. They also are responsible for managing the relocation efforts for the new City Hall building. The head of the division is Chief Clipp. Financial Affairs Department: Responsible for drafting the city's budgetary plan as well overseeing government spending. Residential Affairs Department: Manage resident registration and track citizen residential status within Crossbell City. Transportation Division: Oversee the entirety of the orbal bus system in the state. Urban Development Division: Oversee city planning and new construction projects within the city such as buildings and roads in accordance with Crossbell's Urban Development Plan. Members also go out to survey daily traffic volume in Central Square in response to the recent surge of orbal car ownership in the city. Mishelam Management Division: Oversee the management and planning of future construction projects in and around Mishelam Wonderland theme park and Lakeside Beach. Government changes during Imperial Occupation In January S.1205, Crossbell would officially become the Imperial Province of Crossbell. As such, the position of Governor General of Crossbell would replace that of the mayor. The Crossbell Diet would also be dissolved and new representatives would be selected to serve in the Empire's Central Diet in accordance with its Eight Metropolis Plan. International Relations Although on amicable terms with other smaller nations such as Liberl, Leman, and Remiferia, Crossbell has historically had a complicated relationship with its two neighbouring superpowers. With both countries exercising a large amount of influence on the state, Crossbell was practically powerless to stymie corruption. Remiferia, through its medical businesses, and Leman, though the Epstein Foundation, maintain strong presences in the state and have good relations with the government. Some citizens remarked on the positive changes annexation had brought for the state, but most were for their own independence which was eventually regained following more strife. International relations seem to be improving from present time onwards. Military Main article: Crossbell Guardian Force Crossbell was historically not permitted to have its own standing army, having instead a guardian force for self-defense only. This force operated from the two gates on either side of the state and made use of armoured cars. Law Main article: Crossbell Police Department Crossbell features a large police department consisting of different divisions. The Special Support Section was a special division established to help the the reputation of the force and help on a more public level, in a similar capacity to the Bracer Guild. Ian Grimwood formerly held a practicing law firm in the city. Crossbell was known to be a hive of corruption and illicit activity because Erebonian and Calvardian immigrants were immune from meaningful prosecution for much of its time as an autonomous state. Two major criminal syndicates, Revache and Heiyue, were known to operate in its borders, as well as the D∴G Cult, working to subvert authority and achieve their own ambitions. Various other criminals with roots in Erebonia and Calvard could also carry out their schemes with little to fear in the way of prosecution because of the political circumstances. This included counterfeit goods salesmen from the Republic and conmen from the Empire. This was no longer the case following re-independence, when these types of criminals could face the full might of the law. Economy Resources Crossbell produces large amounts of honey from the renowned fields of Armorica Village. There is also a significant amount of mining activity in the Mainz area. Tourism Crosbell has many attractive destinations for tourists, including the world famous Arc en Ciel Theatre, and accompanying casinos and Mishelam Wonderland- with its resorts, lakeside beach and theme park facilities. Commercial activity Crossbell is home to the IBC (International Bank of Crossbell) which sits at the centre of commerce in western Zemuria. The IBC had an enormous amount of financial power, being able to cripple the finances of neighbouring countries should they choose to freeze any assets. Other prominent organisations such as the Epstein Foundation and Reinford Group had offices within the IBC. Other businesses operating on a local scale include a (former) law office, bakery, orbal and retail outlets, cafes and restaurants, hotels, and bars. Infrastructure Science & Technology Crossbell is said to be one of the most technologically advanced places on the continent. The Epstein Foundation conducts regular testing in the city, most notably for the Orbal Network Project and testing of their ENIGMA orbments. The orbal stores such as Genten receive the latest technology from all of west Zemuria. Transport The Transcontinental Railroad crosses through Crossbell horizontally, stopping only at Crossbell Station. Crossbell also has air links via Crossbell Airport. Orbal vehicles are commonplace within the city and a bus service runs around the state. Health Through investment and links with Remiferia, St. Ursula Medical College offers care that is acclaimed and sought after internationally. Cutting edge medical research is conducted in the research lab, and esteemed doctors from Remiferia work here alongside a team of nurses. Education The Septian Church are known to operate Sunday school services in the state. St. Ursula Medical College also offers higher education for medical studies. The Knox Forest also serves as a training ground and school for police officers. Media & Communication News in the state is run by the Crossbell News Service and the publication of the Crossbell Times. They have a branch in the Harbor District. Demographics Crossbell has large numbers of people from various walks of life and countries due to its location. There are especially prominent Erebonian and Calvardian diasporas due to both countries' suzerainty over the state. The Erebonian diaspora ballooned from S.1205 to S.1207 due to the Imperial occupation, but the newcomers largely moved away once the occupation was over. The vast majority of its population follow the Septian Church and belief in Aidios. However, the D∴G cult has its origins in Crossbell and practice an alternative religion. Culture Architecture Crossbell City is a sprawling metropolis with many high rise buildings and modern architecture. Some regions like the Downtown District were left behind by this development, but this was addressed during the Erebonian occupation. Styles from the East are also present in the city due to Calvardian immigration. Notable landmarks include the Orchis Tower, the tallest tower in the world, and Mishelam Wonderland. There are several sites of archaeological importance such as the Sun Fort, the Moon Temple, and Stargazer's Tower which date back to the Middle Ages. Other smaller sites of interest include the Ancient Battlefield and the Lupinus River Ruin. Arts & Entertainment The Arc en Ciel theatre is the centrepiece of the Entertainment district, and the skills and performance of its actors is known across western Zemuria. Nearby the theatre are casinos and hotels. Mishelam wonderland is a source of entertainment with its theme park attractions, resort facilities and retail outlets. The city also features jazz bars, restaurants and cafes. The famous sculptor Magnus Hector is from Crossbell, and one of his statues is on display in City Hall. Sports & Festivals Darts is played within the city. The Fisherman's Guild and Imperial Fishing Club both maintain a presence in the city, sharing a branch and spreading the joy of fishing. Folklore Crosbell has a few legends about strange moaning sounds heard near the Ancient Battlefield, as well as the legend of St. Ursula and the white wolf. Zemuria History Zemuria (ゼムリア大陸たいりく), also known as Zemlya in Falcom's romanisation in Trails of Cold Steel, is the continent made up of 37 regions on which the Kiseki series takes place. It is the only known continent in the series. History Pre-history The creation of the world is recorded in the Book of Genesis, one of the Testaments of the Septian Church. The Book of Genesis describes how mankind was gifted with the ability to freely cast magic known as arts (魔法). Over time, however, humanity lost its ability to cast arts on their own. Much later, it was discovered that arts could still be cast with the aid of technological devices called orbments. While the usage of these orbments became inherent to the ability to cast arts (orbal arts), a clan described as witches retained the ability to cast arts without orbments. Witches are still present in modern-day Zemuria, but live isolated in a secluded society.[1] Over time, Zemurian civilisation developed into animist tribes. They gathered around places where septium veins gathered most efficient, such as the Stone Circles in Liberl and Nord Highlands or off the coast of Lake Ebel in Erebonia (now Legram). Before Septian Calendar Main article: Before Septian Calendar See also: Ancient Zemurian civilisation It is believed that at one point in history, the celestial being Aidios bestowed seven treasures upon mankind, known as the Sept-Terrion. Humanity split in seven factions, each gathering around one of these treasures. Each Sept-Terrion provided their group total governance over one of the seven elements. For example, the Aureole, the Sept-Terrion of Space, had absolute governance over space. With their new-found treasures, the ancient Zemurian civilisation flourished. The golden age of these civilisations ended with the Great Collapse, a catastrophic event affecting the whole of Zemuria. The Collapse led to the destruction of the ancient Zemurian civilisation and plunged survivors into a Dark Age of ruin. The event marks the end of the Pre-Septian Calendar and the start of the Septian Calendar. Septian Calendar The recorded history of Zemuria is generally divided into the following Before Septian Calendar (before the Great Collapse in S.0) Septian Calender (S.0 - present) Dark Ages (c. S.0 - S.500) Middle Ages (c. S.500 - S.1150) Modern Era (S.1150–present) List of nations West Zemuria Liberl - The Liberl Kingdom is situated in the southwest part of the Zemurian continent. Rich in nature and history, the kingdom is ruled by the long-lived Queen Alicia II, a staunch advocate for peace. While a humble nation compared to those around it, its bountiful septium reserves, advanced technological capabilities, and Queen Alicia's skillful diplomacy allow it to stand on equal footing with any other. in S.1203, a large object of unknown origin appeared above Valleria Lake, disabling orbments nationwide. This crisis was resolved through the joint efforts of the Royal Army and the Bracer Guild. Erebonia - The Erebonian Empire is located on the western side of the continent of Zemuria and represented by the emblem of the golden stallion. The current emperor is Eugent Reise Arnor III. Despite the Empire's strict class system and focus on tradition, it has begun to modernise due to the railway expansion efforts of Giliath Osborne, a veteran now known as the 'Blood and Iron Chancellor.' Between its mechanised national armed forces, known as the Imperial Army, and private provincial armies' at the command of the nobles ruling each province, Erebonia may be the most powerful nation in Zemuria. Nord Highlands - The Nord Highlands are located northeast of the Empire and surrounded by the Eisengard Range. Despite its harsh natural environment, it is populated by a tribe of nomads with their own unique culture. Given their proximity to both the Empire and the Republic, Nord has been a hotly contested territory for many years, but they have stronger ties to the empire due to their role in helping Dreichels Reise Arnor end the War of the Lions. Crossbell - Crossbell State sits on the western side of Zemuria, between the Erebonian Empire and the Calvard Republic. While established as an autonomous state seventy years ago, its two neighbors still dispute its ownership and share joint suzerainty over Crossbell. At its center lies Crossbell City, one of the continent's key centers of commerce. In addition to being a key station on the Transcontinental Railroad, the city is home to a major international airport. After its illegitimate attempt to declare its independence, it was annexed into the Erebonian Empire early S.1205, then regained its autonomy following the Great War and the cancellation of the Great Twilight, now under the suzerainty of the Holy City of Arteria. North Zemuria Remiferia - The Principality of Remiferia is situated in the north of Zemuria. It is considered a peaceful nation, dedicated to the development of medical technology, which by law cannot be used for military purposes. North Ambria - North Ambria is situated north of Erebonia. It was originally a principality until the North Ambrian Disaster in S.1178 resulted in the collapse of the monarchy, and North Ambria was re-established as a democratic state in S.1179, with the remnants of its army reorganized as a jaeger corps called the Northern Jaegers. North Ambria never managed to rebuild its once-prosperous economy, and it now survives almost entirely on foreign money brought back by the Northern Jaegers. It managed to stand on its own legs for a quarter century, but in the fall of S.1205, it was annexed into the Erebonian Empire. It later regained its independence in S.1207 following the Great War. Jurai - A former city-state situated at the northwestern corner of Erebonia that was trading partners with North Ambria until the North Ambrian Disaster ruined its economy and caused Jurai's economy to collapse as well. It was later annexed into the Erebonian Empire in S.1196 by Chancellor Osborne as a Special Economic Zone. Ored - A small state between Remiferia and Calvard, known internationally for hot springs, agricultural exports, and being the headquarters of the Marduk Company. Midwestern Zemuria Calvard - The Republic of Calvard is a vast country, and thanks to their long-standing open immigration policies, is very culturally diverse. Many immigrants from the East have made Calvard their home. Although it has been significantly less hostile towards Erebonia since the signing of the Non-Aggression Pact, the two nations have been at each other's throats many times over the years. Leman - Home to the Epstein Foundation and the birthplace of Professor C. Epstein, Leman is a state in the midwestern region of the continent. It is also known for housing the headquarters of the Bracer Guild, which has branches all across Zemuria. Arteria - A city-state housing the High Seat of the Septian Church, Arteria is located in the midwestern region of the continent and acts as a gathering place for believers and church officials alike. The Free Cities - The name given to a group of five city-states bordering one another south of Arteria and northeast of Calvard. Taslem is the southernmost city-state, bordering Calvard. Alexandre was noted to have spent much of his childhood here but nothing else is known. Emerose City is the second-southernmost state and borders Leman. At least some of these city-states were established with the aid of the Septian Church. Remote Region - Northeast of Leman and north of Arteria and the Free Cities lies an area demarcated as a remote region. Central East Zemuria Elsaim - The Principality of Elsaim has been a leading power in the Central East since antiquity. Elsaim has a wealth of natural resources and has been sharing its technology with its neighbor Calvard for many years. Valis - The city-state of Valis is a small nation that developed rapidly in recent years. It has close ties with Ored and is considered a major trading partner in the region. Qadas - A small country that was annexed by Valis after resource reallocation and financial schemes. Unnamed Central Eastern Region - A region located east of Elsaim and north of Valis. East Zemuria There is an unnamed island east of Zemuria. Nothing about the island is currently known. Sub-regions known as the North East and the Far East have been mentioned, but little is known about how their cultures differ from the rest of the East. Iska - The Holy Empire of Iska was described as being the dominant power of Eastern Zemuria. The nation would collapse however in S.1078. In the present day, an alliance of city-states bearing the name of Iska still exists but they regularly fight amongst themselves. South Zemuria Molujia archipelago Etymology Although Falcom has not commented on their source of inspiration for the name of the continent, Zemuria may have been derived from the hypothetical lost continent of Lemuria or Russian 'Zemlya', meaning literally 'Earth' or 'land'.
