The Holy City of Thaksis (聖都タクシス, Seito Takushisu) is a location in Genso Suikoden Tsumugareshi Hyakunen no Toki.

The core of the Holy Empire of Ionia, and its political and culture center, the Holy City of Thaksis administers the entire empire, allocating resources as needed. Soldiers and officials from Thaksis were especially highly regarded for their talents.

Located near the eastern coast, the city is protected to the south by the Great Wall of Achlites, to the west by natural mountains, and to the north by the Great Bridge and the Floating Fortress of Torgia.

It is an immense city, far larger than any other in all the land. With beautiful architecture and many trees lining the streets, the people of Thaksis were immensely proud, if a touch snobbish, about their home. The enormous Yggdrasilian Palace dominated the city's skyline. (more...) Muse City (ミュース市, Myūsu Shi) is a location in Suikoden II which also features in Genso Suikogaiden Vol.1 and Genso Suikoden Card Stories. It is the capital of both Muse Principality and the City-State of Jowston.

The center of the City-State of Jowston, Muse City was also one of the largest cities in all the alliance with a population of 13,000. Prosperous, its stores were always busy and its people vibrant and busy. Although the city has no trading post, its streets are lined with businesses and are crowded with customers daily. Reflecting this, its primary industry was trade and commerce.

To the west of the city lies the gates that lead to Jowston Hill, where important City-State meetings were held. The gate is only opened during special events and ceremonies, such as these meetings. It is all this that made Muse City the first target of the Highland Army once the Dunan Unification War began in earnest. (more...) Gregminster (グレッグミンスター, Guregguminsutā) is a city which appears in both Suikoden and Suikoden II. It is the capital of the Toran Republic and its predecessor, the Scarlet Moon Empire.

Originally known as the holy city of Rupanda, the city was renamed Gregminster when Cranach Rugner declared independence from the Holy Kingdom of Harmonia in 230, establishing the Scarlet Moon Empire and has served as a national capital since that time.

The city of Gregminster was virtually destroyed during the War of Succession of 446 as Geil Rugner's own bandit forces ransacked and looted the city while imposing martial law and harsh curfews. But the rise of Barbarosa Rugner to the throne saw the city rebuilt, more beautiful than before. As the city prospered, Gregminster housed many high-ranking officials of the Empire, giving rise to a sense of superiority from inhabitants of the city. (more...)

The Holy Kingdom of Harmonia was founded in Solar Year -2 with the overthrow of the Kingdom of Aronia by the hero Hikusaak. Two years later, Hikusaak would take the title of High Priest, setting up the priest-based government that would rule the nation from the Circle Palace. The nation would become a powerhouse in the region, home to a powerful, peerless military and strong, influential culture. The nation's national policy would become centered around the acquisition of the 27 True Runes. This aggressive foreign policy has led to a large number of invasions and annexations in Harmonia's history. (more...)
