Narshe Cliffs (ナルシェ雪原, Narushe Setsugen?, lit. Narshe Snowfield) is a location in Final Fantasy VI.
Story
To prevent the esper from being reached so easily in a future Imperial raid, the Elder of Narshe has it moved to the cliffs above the city. When Terra returns to the town in the company of Edgar and Banon, Arvis attempts to convince the town to side with the Returners to no avail. Locke returns from the imperial-occupied South Figaro and, with information supplied by the traitor Imperial general Celes, warns the townspeople of an Imperial force on its way to seize the esper, lead by Kefka. The Elder of Narshe accepts the Returners' help and the rebels assist the Narshe Guards in defending the town and drive Kefka off in the Battle for the Frozen Esper. In the aftermath, Terra confronts the frozen esper and transforms into an esper herself, flying away. Banon and a handful of Returners remain in the town while another group departs to search for Terra.
In the World of Ruin, the frozen esper can still be found where it was left after the battle, and the party can obtain its magicite by awakening it and defeat it in battle. A secret passage to the Yeti's Cave behind the cliffs of Narshe is then automatically opened and Umaro can be fought and recruited into the party, provided Mog is in the party when this happens. Whether Narshe was repopulated after the final defeat of Kefka is unknown.
Quests
Optional Bosses
In the snowfields atop the town the player can find the Ice Dragon, one of the Eight legendary dragons. Beyond the snowfield at the cliff, the player can find the frozen esper Valigarmanda and battle it, unthawing it to obtain it as a magicite. Defeating Valigarmanda opens a passage to the Yeti's Cave where Umaro lives. Defeating Umaro with Mog in the party will have Umaro join the party.
Mog's Dance
The snowfields above the town are the only location where Mog can learn the Snowman Rondo Dance. Because no random encounters occur here in the World of Balance, Mog cannot learn the Dance until the World of Ruin.
