Mt. Temza

Learn about Mt. Temza in Tales of Vesperia, including its significance to Judith, the Kritya, and the Great War. Find out how it ties into her journey with Ba'ul.

Hey there! So, you're heading towards Mt. Temza? This place is pretty significant, especially for Judith. It's where she grew up in a Krityan village called Temza, nestled right on the mountain itself.

Her dad, Hermes, was a brilliant blastia researcher working for the Empire there. Sadly, Judith's mom passed away during childbirth. Growing up, Judith actually befriended a young Entelexeia named Ba'ul, who lived at the very peak of Mt. Temza. They, along with her father, used to travel around quite a bit.

Heads up: When Judith was about nine, things got really rough. The Great War broke out near Temza, and the village was destroyed, leading to her father's death. Ba'ul managed to rescue her and took her to Myorzo, a Krityan city. But man, that experience really messed her up. She became withdrawn and had trouble sleeping.

It didn't help that she struggled to fit into Myorzo's culture. After seeing war, she just couldn't settle back into a peaceful life. She became restless and started training with her spear daily, which was pretty unusual for the typically peaceful Kritya. Eventually, she made a promise to Ba'ul with her spear, "Brionic": they'd travel the world together and destroy all of Hermes' blastia, the very things her father invented, because she realized how dangerous they were.

To find these destructive blastia, she relied on Ba'ul's natural ability to sense disturbances in aer. This is when she left Myorzo and started her journey. Because of the armor she wore and the creature she rode, people started calling her the "Dragon Rider."

Later in the story, after some events, the group actually searches for Judith at Mt. Temza again. She's there defending Ba'ul from the Hunting Blades while he's evolving. It's here she finally explains to Brave Vesperia why she's so set on destroying blastia.
