Meta Information

Appearances

Gregminster (グレッグミンスター, Guregguminsutā) is a city which appears in both Suikoden and Suikoden II as well as the upcoming Suikoden STAR LEAP. It is the capital of the Toran Republic and its predecessor, the Scarlet Moon Empire.

Information

The city of Gregminster stands on the former site of the Harmonian Holy City of Rupanda. In Solar Year 230, when the Emperor Kranach Rugner founded the Scarlet Moon Empire, the city was renamed Gregminster.^[2]

For over 200 years, Gregminster would serve as the empire's political and cultural center.

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.^[3] But the rise of Barbarossa Rugner to the throne saw the city rebuilt, more beautiful than before.

Commerce drives the local economy, with artworks and pottery flourishing as key specialties under protectionist policies once established by Emperor Barbarossa. The architecture of the city reflects this, and all houses are built with ivory-colored walls and contrasting red doors.^[1] In the middle of the city stands the Golden Goddess statue. This statue was made by the renowned artist, Basil. It is said that the statue is a mirror image of Barbarossa's late wife, Claudia.^[4]

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. A monthly market was held in the center of the city^[5].

Gregminster suffered greatly during the Gate Rune War, the city eventually becoming isolated from the rest of the nation. Eventually, after a final climatic battle, Gregminster fell to the forces of the Toran Liberation Army, ending the war. Following the war, Gregminster remained the capital, now of the Toran Republic. Since then, President Lepant has continued to develop the city as a cultural and commercial center.^[6]
