Mintche

Known as the Town of Academia, Mintche is located on Inferia's southwestern continent along with Rasheans and Regulus Dojo. Its most prominent feature is the university, though it also holds a variety of shops, a library, a cafe, and a port. The Craymel Ball minigame is available here, and Katrine is first encountered here.

The prestigious Mintche University was founded by Andrew Leonoa and specializes in Craymel Research. Keele himself is a research assistant in the Light Craymelogy department; other depeartment include Fire Craymelology, Wind Craymelology, and presumably Water Craymelology. The entrance exams are notoriously difficult, and only the elite can get in. The player can take three progressivly harder exams upstairs, administered by Chelsea, Claus, and Laville Clemente respectively. These gain Reid the titles of Namco Teacher, Namco Professor, and Namco Otaku.

Mt. Mintche lies southwest of the city and is home to the Mt. Mintche Observatory, where the party first finds Keele, and Nostos Cave can be found to the southeast. The Rasheans River is located in the west.

Story
The party arrives in the city looking for Keele and manage to gain entrance to the university. However, upon entering the Light Craymelology laboratory, Meredy's elara reacts with the experiment, causing an explosion. Dean Carlyle orders them to leave, but a student named Zank, who knows Keele, pulls them aside and informs them that Keele has been thrown out of the university for spreading his theory of World Chain Destruction based on the dark matter, which is later discovered to be thought of as a sign of Seyfert's second coming. Zank says that Keele is at the Mt. Mintche Observatory, but that he may refuse to see them. Undaunted, the party sets off to find him. Before they leave, Zank suggests that Meredy is an Imperial Craymel Mage because she speaks Melnics, gaining her the title of "Craymel Mage?"
