Norende Village

Norende is Tiz Arrior's home village in Bravely Default. It was destroyed before the events of the game, killing everyone but Tiz, and leaving behind a huge, gaping dark hole known as the Great Chasm.

Norende Reconstruction Sidequest
Bravely Default features a bonus activity in the form of the Norende town and villagers minigame. Early on in the game, Tiz is put in charge of rebuilding his hometown. To do this, the player can click on the town icon on the sidebar at any time to view the village. At the start, nothing is built and many obstacles block paths to other parts of the town area.

To rebuild the town, the player will have to rely on villagers found through StreetPassing or given by the Adventurer once a day by updating data. The more villagers a player has, the faster tasks can get done.

By rebuilding the town, the player will have access to items and equipment not found anywhere else. They can trade with the Adventurer to shop at any stores they have built, and every building has multiple levels.

All Shops can be upgraded in level several times boasting more items and longer build times. Traders will occasionally send random gifts that increase in value.

Nemeses
The town of Norende also features Nemeses, monsters for the party to fight. They can be obtained by using StreetPass. The player can gain rewards for fighting and killing these, but because some high-level Nemeses can be obtained very early on in the game, it is strongly advises the player should wait until they reach the monster's level to take it down. Up to 7 Nemeses can appear in Norende at any one time, after which the oldest Nemesis will be removed unless protected.

Nemeses can also be sent directly by the game's developers, and can be found by updating data in the save menu. The player can also send a Nemesis to other people by clicking on a Nemesis and hitting send.
