Locations & Maps
The City of Bose
The City of Bose is the main settlement of the Bose region. The main attraction of this city is the huge market in the middle of the city. Heading west out of the city takes you out through the West Bose Highway toward Ravennue Village and beyond, the eastern gate goes to the East Bose Highway to the City of Rolent, and the southern gate exits to the New Ansel Path.
This is the second major location visited in Trails in the Sky, and is the central hub of everything in Chapter 1.
