Ehmead Hill

Ehmead Hill (エフミドの丘) is a dungeon located on the northern part of the continent of Illycia in Tales of Vesperia. The area is rather short, as it is merely a path to Capua Nor.

History
The group first travels here to head to Capua Nor, where they might find Flynn Scifo. Upon arrival, Karol Capel notices that a barrier that is supposed to be in the vicinity is gone. He tells them that Nan, a friend of his from his guild, told him about such a barrier. He and Rita Mordio decide to go on ahead and check out the situation, leaving Yuri Lowell, Estelle, and Repede behind. They come across a destroyed blastia, and Rita decides to investigate it further while Karol returns to tell them that the one responsible for destroying the blastia is the mysterious Dragon Rider. Rita argues with the knights guarding the road over a strange blastia formula and gets herself into trouble, prompting Yuri and Karol to cause a distraction and rescue her, fleeing into the nearby forest.

The group decides to take this alternate route and scolds Rita for her reckless behavior. They soon hear the voices of Adecor, Boccos, and Leblanc, demanding Yuri and Estelle come out. Ignoring the calls and pressing forward, they come across some strange flowers that cause dizziness when the pollen is inhaled. Rita uses Karol as a test subject, which causes him to lose his senses momentarily, but after his recovery, the group moves on and encounters a fearsome "Gattuso", a wolf-like monster who attacks without warning. After defeating the monster, the group heads to a spot where they can see the ocean. After a brief yet inspiring conversation, Yuri and his friends continued onward. Near the end of the trail, the group finds a camping set and instructions on how to use it. Afterward, they continue onward to Capua Nor.
