Crestlands Emblem
Crestlands (クレストランド地方, Kuresutorando Chihō) is one of eight regions in the continent of Solistia. It is a land of mountain and hills.
Perched high atop one stony peak rises Aelfric Cathedral, the center of the Sacred Flame faith. Adherents of this religion's tenets have worshipped the Sacred Flame that the cathedral houses since time immemorial. Even through the bitterly cold winter a century previous, the flame continued to warm the hearts and souls of all who visited. In both name and spirit, the Sacred Flame and its church are the divine lords of this land.
At the base of the cathedral lies the small town of Flamechurch. Though its population is small, the townsfolk make a good living providing for the crowds of pilgrims who travel here to visit the cathedral.

Trivia[]
- The Crestlands is the equivalent of the Highlands from the first game.
- The dragonflies that appear in the background of the Crestlands only emerge during the day, disappearing at night.
- The Crestlands's music is one of Yasunori Nishiki's favorite pieces.
- When composing the music for the Crestlands, Nishiki sought to convey a clear sense of the gently enveloping warmth of the sun and the crimson of the leaves, along with a sadness to evoke the coming winter foreshadowed by the sunset and autumn leaves.[1]
