Narshe

Narshe is a coal-mining town situated in the snowy mountains in Final Fantasy VI. It is the starting location, and the party visits Narshe a few times during their adventure. Narshe is surrounded by a network of mines called the Narshe Mines, and north of the town is Narshe Cliffs, which overlooks a large frozen canyon.

History
In Final Fantasy VI, miners at Narshe unearth a frozen Esper. This gets the attention of the Gestahlian Empire, who sends out Biggs and Wedge as well as Terra, who is under their mind control, to retrieve the Esper. All three of them walk around in Magitek Armor. The three of them break into town and defeat every Guard and Silver Lobo in their path with ease. Just before the party can enter Narshe Mines, the guards send out two Megalodoths to attack them, but they are also defeated. The group fails to capture the Esper, which kills Biggs and Wedge but frees Terra by destroying the Slave Crown that controlled her.

Following the events of South Figaro and the Lete River, the party separates. During a part of Terra's scenario, she tries to enter Narshe with Edgar and Banon to discuss with Arvis about possibly having Narshe join forces with the Returners. The guards recognize Terra from when she raided Narshe, so they do not allow her to enter. Instead, the group opens a nearby rock wall to take a long, hidden shortcut through the mines and walk across short bridges hanging from the buildings in the town before ending up at Arvis's house.
