Villnore is a large industrial city in Northwestern Midgard and one of its most prominent powers. It is featured in Valkyrie Profile, Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria and Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume. The citizens are focussed on commerce and arms trade, due to a flourishing steel production.
Valkyrie Profile
This military regime controls the northwestern continent. Notorious for villainy even within the robber's guild, Villnore aims to rule the continent using a secret weapon they excavated in the far north.
History/Storyline
Badrach in Villnore
The kingdom is an aggressive military force that the other powers of Midgard need to reckon with, due to its flourishing industry and arms trade. The nobility is the real political power in the country, the king being reduced to a mere figurhead, and the class divide between rich and poor is very pronounced, making the streets unsafe [1]. The capital city is home to a powerful Thieves' Guild, which hires mercenaries such as Badrach to do its dirty jobs. Gandar is an undisputed and ruthless asset of the Villnore army.
Miscellaneous
- Aelia and Badrach can be recruited in Villnore. Aelia is available in Chapter 4 (Normal or Hard mode) and Badrach in Chapter 5 or 6.
- In addition, Badrach can be encountered at his lodgings if you visit Villnore before recruiting him. He will attempt to flirt with Lenneth [2].
Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria
Alicia in Villnore
A developing kingdom in the continental northwest. Steel and commerce industries drive the economy.
History/Storyline
Founded in 659 C.C. by the warrior Kraad and his wife Circe, a skilled blacksmith, Villnore is a prosperous country with a martial tradition. It is still a rising power, but already displays great promise, standing ready to claim its share in the politics of Midgard after the fall of Dipan. The shops boast a selection of good equipment, in keeping with the city's reputation.

- The house where Adonis and Falx appear when released contains fragments of a miner's log testifying to the monster assault in Turgen Mine.
