Astoria also known as Lakeside Town Astoria is a location in Trials of Mana. Depending upon the storyline chosen by the player, it is either the first or second town visited after the Chosen sets off from their homeland.

Background[edit]

A quiet village in the south-central plains, Astoria is located at the southern edge of the Rabite Forest, a short distance east of its namesake lake. The people are nevertheless superstitious, as there is a prophecy that a will-o'-the-wisp could bring calamity upon the village.

History[edit]

Trials of Mana[edit]

Chapter I[edit]

Charlotte passes out upon landing in the Rabite Forest from Wendel. There, a passing adventurer recovers her and takes her to the inn. Duran, Angela, Kevin, Hawkeye, and Riesz arrive via Jadd, while Charlotte returns to the forest to find Heath and witnesses his capture by Goremand. The hero then sets out for Cascade Cavern and finds the path to Holy City Wendel sealed off by a magic ward. The hero must speak to three witnesses who observed a floating light, including one in the depths of the forest. As they rest at the inn a second night, the floating light returns as bright as day. Curious, the hero wakes and follows the light, which lands in a small clearing. They are shocked to find a severely exhausted Faerie seeking the aid of someone who will escort her to the Priest of Light in Wendel, for the power of mana grows weak, as does she. To survive, she must bond with a host, to which the hero agrees as they also seek guidance. Before the pair can get acquainted, the sounds of war are heard from Astoria. As the hero rushes back, they find the village utterly destroyed by the work of beastmen.

Chapter II[edit]

The party can return to the deserted settlement only to a find a single dog wimpering about its long lost master. Interacting with it grants them the Narrow Escape Chain Ability.

Chapter VI[edit]

If Kevin or Charlotte is the chosen, they will find themselves in the Mirage Palace after defeating Goremand. One of the many branching path lead them to a distorted replica of the destroyed village infested with undead monsters.
