Orchis Tower (オルキスタワー) is a 40-story skyscraper located in the north of Crossbell City.

Background[]

At 250 arge tall with 40 stories, the Orchis Tower is currently the tallest man-made structure in Zemuria. The Orchis Tower serves both as the new City Hall for Crossbell City, replacing the old City Hall in the Administrative District, and as an international hub and trading center, having facilities for corporate business and conferences as well. The building is said to be stunning at night. The design of exterior of the tower was designed by Kendall's Architectural Firm, run by a resident of Crossbell.

Trails from Zero[]

Background[]

The tower is still under construction and the site cannot be accessed. The construction site was the location of Guy Bannings' murder in S.1201.

Trails to Azure[]

Background[]

Construction was completed on August 30, S.1204. Orchis Tower was unveiled to the public the next day, August 31, S.1204, alongside new mayor Dieter Crois' assumption of office as well as the start of the West Zemuria Trade Conference, which was held inside. Here, nations from all over western Zemuria gather to discuss trade and geopolitics.

The Special Support Section are enlisted to help provide security for the event on the upper floors. The conference is soon threatened by a joint attack from the Imperial Liberation Front and anti-immigration terrorists from Calvard who are after the heads of their respective countries. The SSS, together with the First Division and the Bracer Guild, are able to prevent the terrorists from entering the conference room and give chase down to the Geofront.

However, Chancellor Giliath Osborne had hired the jaeger corps Red Constellation, and President Samuel Rocksmith had employed agents from Heiyue for additional security. While Heiyue merely captured the terrorists, the Red Constellation massacred them, leaving only one alive.

Tio Plato and Jona Sacred use the tower to increase Tio's sensory capabilities and scan the state for missing bracers, Aeolia and Lynn.

Hello there, beautiful. May I have a moment of your time?
Please be aware spoilers for Trails to Azure may be present in the following section. Hit [Show] on the right if the show must go on. Adios, amigos!

Orchis Tower's construction was funded and overseen by the Crois Family, descendents of the original tribe centred around the Sept-Terrion of Mirage, Demiourgos. The tower's true purpose is part of an elaborate system and 1000 year plan to recreate a replacement for the lost Sept-Terrion using alchemy.

The tower stands at the center of Crossbell State, and it is connected to the various elemental Geofront sector beneath the city which were designed to absorb energy from the septium veins in addition of functioning as various utilities the city required such as ventilation, water processing, incineration plants and car parking. The vast amount of energy is channelled through the tower's Thaumaturgical Sector, hidden in the central floors, and broadcast from the top of the tower.

Upon the combined ringing of the three artifact bells located at the Sun Fort, the Moon Temple and the Stargazer's Tower, all ancient structures created by alchemists of the past, the tower receive energies relating to Space, Mirage, and Time, redirecting them to a fourth point on the 'cross': the Castle of Mirrors in Mishelam Wonderland, where KeA, the chosen homunculus vessel, would achieve her true powers and ascend beyond just a replacement Sept-Terrion.

After the SSS reunites and assaults Orchis Tower with the help of their allies, they traverse the Thaumaturgical Sector and face Dieter at the top of the tower. Dieter uses the tower's ability to transfer spiritual energy to teleport himself inside the Aion Type-α, piloting it and fighting the SSS until F. Novartis disables it, teleporting him out forcefully and taking the Aion with him, as agreed with Mariabell.

Mariabell and the others project themselves to the SSS, as well as Ian Grimwood, the other mastermind of the Azure-Zero Project, which culminates in the creation of the Azure Tree.

It is later revealed that Arios MacLaine was the one who called Guy to the construction site, where they fought after the latter uncovered most of Grimwood's plot. As Guy was about to convince Arios to come clean, Grimwood shot him in the back, killing him.

There we go, the end of spoilers. Thank you for your time!

Trails of Cold Steel III[]

Background[]

With the annexation of Crossbell at the hands of Erebonia, Orchis Tower is the seat of power for the region, overseen by Governor General Rufus Albarea. Rean Schwarzer and the new Class VII of Thors Branch Campus are dispatched to the region on a field exercise to provide extra security for the upcoming Imperial inspection of the region. Dignitaries from Erebonia, including Alfin Reise Arnor, arrive via the Pantagruel to oversee the inspection.

During the first night, the Tower seemingly comes under attack by Enforcers of Ouroboros: McBurn and Campanella. McBurn apparently sets the landing craft for the Pantagruel ablaze, but this is later revealed to be an illusion. Rean and Sharon Kreuger ascend to the rooftop to battle the pair of enforcers but they are soundly beaten. Class VII arrive despite orders and are also defeated. Campanella reveals Rufus' Operation: Birdcage strategy and Juna soon enters a state of distress and admonishes Rean for the Empire's role in taking Crossbell's hopes from them before summoning the newly built Aion Type-γ II which does destroy the landing craft. The members of the society then withdraw.

Enemies[]

Staff: Chief Moletto, Receptionist Lillie, Joey.

Other NPCs in the area: Tajik; Faulds and Carla (tourists).

Trails of Cold Steel IV[]

Background[]

Estelle Bright, Joshua Bright, Renne, Lloyd Bannings, Elie MacDowell and KeA Bannings infiltrate Orchis Tower's Thaumaturgical Sector in order to gain information on what happened in Erebonia prior to the great wave of darkness and the beginning of the Great Twilight. The Core's functions appeared to be disabled but the central terminal is active allowing them to to extract the information after briefly confronting Mariabell Crois, Claire Rieveldt and Black Alberich. they are allowed to escape with the information.

The tower is infiltrated for a second time in order to deactivate a barrier generator located on the top of the tower which was protecting the Stella Shrine from being accessed for the Rivalries. Class VII and the Radiant Wings stage a diversionary Arc en Ciel performance to divert the majority of the protective forces whilst they enter the tower from the base. the remaining Imperial Defense Force soldiers on duty attempt to apprehend them but rebel Crossbell forces keep them occupied.

Rean and his allies ascend through the now re-activated Mystic Core, confronting golems and archaisms on their way up. They face off against a curse controlled Victor S. Arseid and McBurn but are able to overcome them. Victor is freed from the curse and McBurn prepares to unleash his full power, but one of Alberich's Leviathan units gets in the way. McBurn destroys it easily, but with several members of the Vander family now present, he retreats, giving a glimpse of his true form. The group reach the rooftop and prepare to destroy the barrier generator, but Mariabell appears and states she has no reason to get in their way and teleports away with the generator, leaving the path to the Shrine open.

Trails into Reverie[]

Background[]

The Special Support Section and Juna Crawford smash their way into the upper floors of the Orchis Tower using a stolen Soldat and proceed to oust the remaining Imperial Defense Force members of Rufus' personal guard. The guards utilise an Asmodyne unit, developed from the Goliath alongside the Leviathan, but it is not enough and they are defeated.

Later on in the operation to retake Crossbell City, the combined allied forces, including Rufus Albarea, confront the Simulacrum Supreme Leader and the curse controlled Ilya Platiere at the base of the tower. They are victorious, but the appearance of Retributive Tower leaves them little room to celebrate. The parties remain at the top of the tower until a path through to Retributive Tower is made available by the arrival of the Arseille II, disguised as the disabled Courageous II.
