Alexandria

Alexandria (アレクサンドリア) is the base of Shadow Garden. It was the former ancient capital of the Midgar Kingdom until it was destroyed by a Mist Dragon.

History
Long ago, the king of Alexandria formed a pact with the Mist Dragon. The Mist Dragon promised prosperity for the city and protected the city using his mist, in return was that one day the king or his descendant will giving Mist Dragon a death.

However, as time passed, the pact was forgotten and the king's descendant became greedy with their prosperity instead of striving to grow in strength. Then, the Mist Dragon will laid waste to the capital for a test to see if they were worthy to kill the dragon.

However, the capital fell in one night against the Mist Dragon's force along with the king's descendant and it's inhabitants. After it's destruction, Mist Dragon used the fallen city as it's resting place and Alexandria became a legendary folklore which it's existence is yet to be confirmed.

Background
Years later, Shadow and the Seven Shadows, in search for a new place to stay would uncover Alexandria and face off against the dragon. Cid defeated the Mist Dragon using an underdeveloped "I Am Atomic" but could not kill him. The dragon then swore obedience to Shadow allowing his organization to use Alexandria as their headquarters, believing one day that Shadow will be able to kill him.

Location
It was a legendary capital, said to be far east of the Sacred Land Lindwurm at Midgar, beyond the Abyss Woods. It's a natural stronghold, surrounded by steep cliffs on three sides and to the west of the Abyss Woods, which is protected by the Mist Dragon's deadly poison mist and the rumor has it that anyone who enters it can never return.

Layout
The inner city is truly a utopia itself, and in addition to various departments such as defense system, training centers, and research and development rooms. There are also a vast plantation of cacao and coffee trees cultivated, which is the only one in this world.

Gamma was delighted to be able to make her long-awaited "chocolate", and after that the members managed the farm and refined the cocoa mass. As a result, Mitsugoshi Company became the only company in the different world that could exclusively sell chocolate. Later, she succeeded in reproducing the coffee that Cid talked about in "Shadow Wisdom".
