Alhafra is a large port-city on the northern coast of Osenia just north of the Yampi Desert, to the west lie the Osenia Cliffs, to the south the aforementioned desert and Air's Rock and to the east the Balloo Range of mountains. Alhafra is similarly sized to Tolbi, but perhaps slightly smaller or less prosperous. Alhafra is governed by a greedy, mayor whose ambition is to make Alhafra an extremely prosperous trading center, however he is willing to do so through dishonest dealing, notably with the town of Madra in Indra. The town is important to the Briggs sub-plot in Golden Sun: The Lost Age.

Story[]

Background[]

Alhafra2

Alhafra.

Alhafra is a seafaring town on the northern coast of Osenia, relying upon the sea for its food supply. It is a particularly prosperous town of considerable size, though it suffered extensive damage as a result of the tidal wave. Prior to the tidal wave there had been contact between Alhafra and Madra, a town just a short boat ride away. Since the tidal wave moved Indra south, it is now only possible to access Madra by the newly formed land bridge. In terms of culture, Alhafra was considerably advanced compared to the rest of the region having just recently developed sailing ships. The only other known town to develop any form of sailing ship is Champa, which uses much smaller ships. Despite all its size and advances though, Alhafra's mayor has a reputation for being extremely greedy.

Tidal Waves and Pirates[]

Following the tidal wave that struck Indra and Osenia, Briggs and his pirate crew from Champa fled from Indra and sought a boat in Alhafra. They also destroyed the bridge to Alhafra to slow the party from Madra down. The tidal wave, however, had left Alhafra with only the newly built sailboat, and that had suffered damage. The pirates bought the boat and even paid for the mast to be repaired, though it later became clear that the mast was weighted down with too much debris. Thus by the time the mayor of Madra arrived in Alhafra to capture Briggs, he and his crew were still stuck there. However, the mayor of Alhafra was very stubborn in accepting the accusations of Briggs, who had paid good money for the boat.

Meanwhile Felix's party had arrived in Alhafra in search of their own boat of their own and, being aware that only Briggs can prove the innocence of Piers, a water adept being held in Madra, they confront Briggs. When he refuses in cooperating, Felix is forced to battle Briggs and his crew. After being defeated and confessing to both mayors, Briggs suggests that, since he had bought the boat with Madran gold, he would give the boat to Madra and he attests to Piers' innocence before allowing himself to be locked up until the boat is repaired.

Fixingmast

Felix and company decide to do what they can to fix the mast.

The Mayor's Greed[]

While most of the Madran party returned to assure Piers' release from Madra's prison, the mayor and the elder stayed behind to oversee the repairs on the boat. However, Alhafra's greedy mayor refuses to repair the boat despite the fact that Briggs had already paid for the repairs and the pair were forced to return to Madra without the boat. The boat remained unrepaired for quite some time until Felix returned to finish clearing the debris off the mast. Alhafra's mayor begins repairs immediately but is clearly not planning on turning the boat over. His plans amount to nothing, however, as Briggs escapes the prison and uses the now repaired ship to return to Champa.

Trivia[]

  • When the mayor is informed that Briggs escaped the prison (during a cutscene after the boat is fixed), the same song is played as the battle theme when Jenna is fleeing the Venus Lighthouse.
