After leaving the Delarosa Marquisate, Vaan passed Blackmoon City and stopped by Sunpeak Town. Actually, it should be called Sunpeak City now.
During the time Vaan was away, Sunpeak City had rapidly expanded and shed away its former shell.
It was no longer a desolate town with broken buildings but a major trade city with over a hundred thousand residents, which was still increasing by the day. As more people heard praises of Sunpeak City, more people decided to visit and eventually settle down.
Even people from Blackthorn City have moved to Sunpeak City to seek new opportunities.
After all, Sunpeak City was a growing trade city with constant changes and lower costs compared to Blackthorn City, which had an oversaturated market and high cost of living.
Sunpeak City was a place that guaranteed profit, even with small investments.
