Added by TenzaZangetsu- "Many visitors come to Bhujerba to enjoy the open-air parks with spectacular views only available to those who live in the sky. Very rarely does anyone fall from the skycity, and curiously enough, not a single death has been reported to have resulted from such an occurrence to date."

The Skycity of Bhujerba (空中都市ビュエルバ, Kūchū Toshi Byueruba?) is a location in the land of Ivalice in Final Fantasy XII. A floating city, it tries to maintain neutrality at all times, but recent events have forced its residents to ally with Archadia.

Profile
Edit
- See also: Sage Knowledge 53-78#SK 53: Bhujerba.
Bhujerba is located in the Sky Continent of Dorstonis, above the Naldoan Sea. A floating city-state, Bhujerba thrives solely on the export of magicite mined in the nearby Lhusu Mines. Originally founded by Moogles, who were the first pioneers of airship travel, Bhujerba became an airship docking port and expeditions discovered more magicite mines, increasing Bhujerba's revenue.
During the age of the Galtean Alliance, House Ondore took over the administration and initiated a system to control the magicite mining activities; by closing exhausted mines to let the magicite recover and opening new mines elsewhere. This guarantees continuous production of magicite. It is rumored that should the magicite supply be exhausted, Bhujerba and the rest of the Sky Continent would descend to the surface; these rumors are yet to be proven true.
Politics
Edit
Ruled by Marquis Halim Ondore IV, Bhujerba tries to maintain its neutrality amongst all nations. It was even the mediator between Archadia and Dalmasca when they signed their peace treaty. However, they have recently entered into a formal alliance with Archadia, although the Archadians have no real power over Bhujerba. In reality, though, Bhujerba has allied with the Resistance, in hopes of bringing down the Archadian Empire.
Dialect
Edit
The people of Bhujerba speak with an accent similar to Indian English with many of the terms being actual words from the Sanskrit language. The most common word is Bhadra, which is a formal address, not unlike the English use of Sir/Madam or Mr/Ms/Mrs. The dialect is also seen, when approaching the city guides, as they will have the title of Parijanah, which fittingly means "guide".
Other Bhujerban words:
- Amba - Mother
- Bhadra - Brother / Friend
- Hanta - Great!
- Kah - Who
- Kastam - Alas
- Madhu - A wine beverage (Honey in Sanskrit)
- Murkha - Fool
- Parijanah - Guide
- Raksas - Monster
- Sainikah or Parivir - Soldier
- Svagatam - Welcome
- Tatah - Father
- Haa - ???? (ex: "If the adults found out, haa, we would surely be dragged away!")
Story
Edit

Added by KeltainentoukokuuThe party arrive at Bhujerba on Balthier's airship after learning that Ba'Gamnan has kidnapped Penelo and is keeping her hostage in the Lhusu Mines. Walking down Travica Way, they are approached by a young man named Lamont, who - overhearing their discussion of Lhusu - implores they let him join them on their journey. Balthier reluctantly agrees, and they head southwards to the Mines.

Added by KeltainentoukokuuUpon arrival, they learn that they are not the only ones with interests in Lhusu: Judge Ghis and Marquis Ondore are also in the mines, conversing of the secret affair Bhujerba has with Archadia, providing the Draklor Laboratory with magicite. The party make their way to the end of the mines and find Ba'Gamnan, who had already let Penelo go. The party fight him off long enough to make an escape lead by Lamont, though they lose sight of the boy in their chase.
Penelo, frightened and lost, stumbles upon the Judge and the Marquis on her way out of the mines. Ghis is furious of having discovered an outsider in the mines full of Empire's secrets, but 'Lamont', who reveals himself as Larsa Solidor of the ruling house of Archadia, comes to her aid as the rest of the party watch on from the shadows.

Added by KeltainentoukokuuThe party learn Penelo has been taken to Marquis Ondore's mansion, so they come up with a plan to get in by spreading rumors that Basch is still alive. In gaining an audience with the Marquis, they find that Penelo, Judge Ghis and the Resistance fighter Amalia have all boarded the Dreadnought Leviathan. Following a silent agreement between Ondore and Basch, the Marquis calls the guard and the group is captured, sending them on-board the imperial airship so they may have a chance to save their friends.
The party manage to escape with Penelo and Ashe and make their way back to Bhujerba to Marquis Ondore's. Ashe wants to claim Dalmasca's throne, but cannot do so with no proof of her lineage. She then decides to go and seek out the Dawn Shard, but the Marquis does not support her plan. Ashe decides to steal the Strahl in order to find the Shard herself, but is caught by Balthier and Vaan in doing so. Ashe manages to convince Balthier to kidnap her by promising him the treasures within Tomb of Raithwall, and so the party leave Bhujerba for the Jagd Yensa.

Spreading Rumors
Edit

Added by KeltainentoukokuuAfter escaping the Lhusu Mines the party will try to attract the Marquis's attention by spreading rumors around town that the Marquis has been lying about Basch's execution and that he is still alive. The player must roam around town and press
near NPCs to spread the word and fill a gauge. The more people hear the word, the faster the gauge is built. Shops are usually the best spots to do this, as well as near the city Parijanas. However, spreading the word within earshot of a Bhujerban Sainakah will cause the gauge to deplete significantly.
