Burmecia

Burmecia, Realm of Eternal Rain, is a city-state in the northwestern part of the Mist Continent on Gaia in Final Fantasy IX. It is Freya Crescent's hometown. Inhabited by the Burmecians, Burmecia is a walled, multi-leveled and warren-like city built around the king's palace and showered by constant rain.

Story
Early in the game, Burmecia is attacked by the Alexandrian army of Black Mages led by Kuja and Beatrix. The City is taken with great loss on the side of the Burmecians, although it is shown that many fought bravely and to the death to defend the citadel and its lord. By the time Zidane and the party arrive, the city is in ruins, with the scattered bodies of the Burmecian soldiers and citizens strewn throughout the city. Zidane must collect the Protection Bell from under the King's bed in order to unlock the door that leads to the ruined Palace courtyard. Here, they meet several fleeing Burmecians, including one that Zidane saves from being crushed by collapsing rubble. In a secluded armory room, the party meets Stiltzkin for the first time. They later move on and scale a decrepit statue to the apex of the palace, where Queen Brahne, Kuja, and Beatrix wait. Here, the first unsuccessful battle with Beatrix is fought, and after the party's defeat, Brahne makes plans to invade the neighboring city of Cleyra. Beatrix follows her, and an FMV plays with Kuja mocking the party before mounting his Silver Dragon, taking off into the skies and signaling the end of Disc 1.

It is revealed that many of the surviving Burmecians (including the King) took refuge in the neighboring realm of Cleyra. Ironically, their shelter would be short-lived, as the Eidolon Odin is later summoned by Brahne to destroy the desert tree. Burmecia, unlike Lindblum in further stages of the game, is never shown as being rebuilt by its citizens, all who were scattered across the world, even as far as Esto Gaza, or were killed in the battle.

Music
Burmecia has its own theme music titled "Kingdom of Burmecia" played throughout the location. It is a rather sorrowful theme consisting mainly of a choir and a church organ playing in the background.
