Residential Areas

The main residential locations in Crossroads.

Phoenix Coast


 

Residential buildings that sit between the port and higher levels of Crossroads. This is the closest to "city-like" Crossroads is.

-- Unknown

One of Phoenix Coast's most alluring aspects is its contrasting natural views. To the east, the majestic mountains rise dramatically, and the main streets of Crossroads. To the west, the expansive port with its bustling docks and, shimmering waters offers a gateway to the sea, which stretches endlessly into the distance... the further you look out, the stranger the clouds look out there...

History


Phoenix Coast hosts a lively city setting within the traditional architecture of Crossroads. Residents of this area have access to more electricity than most within the land, and tend to flaunt this luxury. It may not be the most wealthy district in the area, but it definitely is the most modern (especially to visitors from afar). If you miss the city life, air conditioning, and neon lights, Phoenix Coast is the place for you.

Aristocrat District


 

Current local leaders reside in these houses. The Crossguard Lookouts are also located within this district.

-- Unknown

 

 

Cobblestone streets are lined with electric-powered lamps here, glowing warmly in the evening air. Elegant townhouses with wrought-iron gates are homes to local community leaders, wealthy merchants, and even past Tournament winners. At each of the cardinal directions stand tall watchtowers, occupied by the God Eater's ever-vigilant Crossguards. These affluent streets are a simple convergence of aristocratic elegance and local responsibility. 

History


Being residential, this District is not often frequented by tourists. However, that does not mean there's nothing to do here! Several elegant restaurants and cafes are nestled within the district's gardens. The gardens are surprisingly expansive, comprising an assortment of odd flowers. Swimming lazily within the garden's pond is a trio of gigantic koi fish--black, gold, and orange, these fish are bigger than the average human. Beloved by all in the district, they are fed and cared for by the community, like big group pets! The Koi are known as Kinka, Taji, and Haruki--and they don't eat typical pellets! Toss them a few golden coins, a valuable watch, a beloved necklace... maybe a stroke of good luck will be in your future!

 

There may even be a few past winners residing within this District. Not everyone's wishes are extravagant--some just wish for a peaceful family life.

Tortoise Village


 

A forest village. Most of the folks from here work in other areas of Crossroads, but they keep a tradition of hunting local deer.

 

 

 

A quiet community tucked away in the hills of Mt. Mei. Tortoise village is lush with vegetation year-round, enjoying a temperate environment. In the spring, the village is a kaleidoscope of floral colors grown by local families. The mountainous location boasts breathtaking views of Crossroads, and holds plenty of hot springs for visitors to relax in. Tenki often finds himself spending days on end lounging in local springs here--giving the village good weather in return, of course. 

History


Many of Crossroads' iconic Crossguards spent their childhoods growing up here, getting lost in the deep forests and playing in one of the many cool streams. It's a very close-knit community that enjoys a quiet life--that is, until a tournament is run. Many inhabitants of the village travel to watch the fighting, and outcomes are often the talk of the town.
