- "Welcome to Stillsnow, our humble village buried amidst the deep drifts." —Villager at Stillsnow's entrance
Stillsnow is a town in Octopath Traveler. This serene, snowy town is the setting for Primrose's Chapter 2 and H'aanit's Chapter 3.
Description[]
True to its name, Stillsnow is filled with glittering snowdrifts, warmly lit buildings, and decorative snowmen. Although it embodies the cozy spirit of a winter town, this peaceful city is also home to the famed seer Susanna, as well as a secret brothel run by the Obsidians.

Etymology[]
Stillsnow is comprised of "still" + "snow," referring to the town's tranquility (stillness) and its snowbound atmopshere.
Trivia[]
- The price to restore reputation in Stillsnow is 4,000 leaves.
- The Veteran Mercenary (noted to be of some repute in the Frostlands) refers to a "dragon that makes its lair in a cave just outside of town." While it is true that a Dragon lives nearby, its lair is located in a forest rather than a cave.
- Despite its idyllic appearance, Stillsnow harbors a prostitution business run by the Obsidians, which is said to attract patrons from all over the world.
- According to Susanna in H'aanit's Chapter 3, the regions around Stillsnow were once haunted by a beast that turned men to stone.
- The Sir Miles, Servant of the Flame (II) quest reveals that, at one point, Stillsnow would have been overrun by monsters if not for the intervention of Miles's Knight Ardante father.
- Stillsnow is the only town besides Sunshade whose tavern contains a stage for dancers.
- According to her biography, the village girl standing next to a snowman throws snowballs at passersby she believes to be up to no good, with painfully sharp aim. The Old Man on the other end of the village keeps a close watch on a certain dilapidated hosue on the outskirts of town, which has resulted in him occasionally being pelted with snowballs by "an equally concerned young villager."
- The boy beside her practices his swordsmanship on the snow sculptures, which happen to be made by a young townsperson with dreams of becoming an artist. Said artist hides behind a pair of snowmen in presumable fear of his detractors. His biography notes, "Alas, nearly all of [his sculptures] are subsequently destroyed by an unknown critic, but he nevertheless persists in his efforts to fill the world with his works."
- The Carefree Man (who owns the inn) tells the village children tales of Miles's father, causing the subject of the Knights Ardante a sudden spike in popularity among the kids.
- The Cleric in Stillsnow's chapel arrived at the village not long ago. He previously sought to spread the teachings of the Sacred Flame in a different town, but was forced to leave when "his safety could no longer be assured." When Guided, he addresses Ophilia by name: "Sister Ophilia!? What are you doing in a place like this?" and when Challenged he asks if Olberic has considered joining the Knights Ardante.
- The Frostlands Farmer grows excellent beets by letting them rest beneath the snow until they're "simply bursting with natural sugars." His produce is renowned for its crisp, refreshing flavor and sweetness.
- According to her biography, the female mercenary standing in front of a house is the most skilled fighter in Stillsnow, owing to her robust strength and skill with a blade. Her dream, however, is to become a dancer. Ironically, her strength is only 4, so multiple other townspeople (including the Old Man) are tougher than her in gameplay.
- The Wide-Eyed Girl likewise aspires to become a singer endowed with her mother's mellifluous voice.
- "A Town Veiled in White" is one of Yasunori Nishiki's favorite themes on the soundtrack. Its piano phrase is inspired by falling powder snow, its spirit taking into consideration the "cold yet warm" theme of the Frostlands. Although the theme starts out cold, it becomes warmer with gradually added strings, building up excitement and matching the breathtakingly beautiful backdrop of the region.[1]
