Rexwood is a town located on an island north-north-west of Estard Island.

Past

When the Hero, Kiefer, and Maribel enters the portal, they landed in a hill not too far from Rexwood. While exploring the hill, they meet a lady named Matilda in front of a grave.

Due to the absence of flowers in the area, she used weeds to offer to the dead, but Maribel insisted of using flower seeds that she picked when she was in Estard. Matilda accepted them, and in gratitude, escorts them to the village. Upon reaching the village, Matilda left them without even saying goodbye.

In the village, they saw no girls in the area, because all of them are captured by monsters. They meet a boy named Patrick who is taking care of his father, Hank, who is currently injured. The villagers aren't able to go to the Colorstone Mine to get the medicine that would cure him due to that the mine is overflowing with monsters, but they eventually decided to help Patrick by getting the medicine themselves.

Upon reaching the mine, they meet Matilda again inside. They explained the situation to her about Hank, Patrick's father, although she was unwilling to help.

Deep in the mine, they eventually saw a Green Colorstone, a colorstone able to heal Hank's injuries. Matilda, who shows up again, helps the party get a piece of the colorstone, and at the same time, gives them a wooden doll. She says that it is a memento of her brother, but she doesn't need it anymore.

Upon curing Hank, he joins the party for the trip to Monster Tower, a tower near the village in which is rumored to be the reason why the girls of the village had gone missing. At the peak of the tower, they discover that Matilda's true form is a monster, that the girls will never return as long as she lives and that she is willing to die in exchange for the peace of Rexwood. They eventually defeat her.

Before going to the portal back to Estard Island, they see Patrick around the grave where the flower seeds Matilda planted grew. Patrick did not know that Matilda, the person who escorted Hank back to the village the time he was injured, is now dead. They just decided to not tell him, but they do give him Matilda's wooden doll.

Present

When the party first arrives in Rexwood after unsealing it, the villagers remark on the bravery of the party on their voyage. When the party tries to tell them that the village just appeared, they respond that the village was always here. Other than that, there is not much to do here.

Landmarks

  • Rexwood Hill - Found only in the past. This is where the party arrives via the fane.
  • Rexwood - The village.
  • Colorstone Mine - In these mines Colorstones exist. If the party puts two like colorstones together, they shatter. A green colorstone can be found in the past
  • Rexwood Tower - Found only in the past. This is where the monster make their base. Matilda is the boss of the tower. Defeating her unseals the world in the present.

Notable Residents

  • Matilda - She was formally a resident of Rexwood. Her brother, for whom the town was named, was killed while defending it from monsters. She became bitter at the residents and resented them. She became a monster and stole the women away in revenge.
  • Hank - The town's warrior. He made the attempt to rescue the women but was defeated and near dying. Matilda, in an act of kindness, returns him to the town. He recovers with the party's help and takes back the women.
