Gato Grottoes is a Land in Legend of Mana.

Background

A town that is quite literally carved into the contours of a mountain range's precipice, Gato Grottoes is said to be protected by divine winds, and is the site where the hallowed Temple of Healing is situated. Dedicated to the Spirits of Air and Flame, the Temple of Healing is helmed by an ancient lineage of priests.

History

Trivia
