Cresta

Cresta (クレスタ) is a village in Seinegald and Rutee Katrea's hometown in Tales of Destiny. In Tales of Destiny 2, which takes place 18 years after the events of Tales of Destiny, the town is the only one of the Seinegald region to have survived the events of the prequel.

History
In Tales of Destiny, Cresta is first visited three months after the defeat of Lydon Bernhardt, when the protagonists go to retrieve Rutee, as the Eye of Atamoni has gone missing again. It is there that they discover Rutee's involvement in a local orphanage, given the name Dunamis Orphange (デュナミス孤児院) in the game's sequel. Later in the story, the group returns to the village when they learn that it has been attacked by monsters sent by Kronos. Having eliminated the threat, Rutee opts to continue the group's mission with them despite her torn consciousness and worry for the orphans. In Tales of Destiny 2, Rutee has assumed full responsibility of the orphanage, giving the children the surname "Dunamis" so that they feel more like family. Loni Dunamis is one of these orphans, and Kyle Dunamis, Rutee's son, adopts this surname as well. Cresta is the beginning town of the game.
