Northreach is a fort town based on top of a mountain in the northern-most reaches of Orsterra. Other than the massive walls surrounding the town, there's little really going on for this place. It's just another town, really.

Though there are a few decent items to snag. The Empowering Necklace gives the highest Max HP boost of the accessories with a whopping thousand.

Remember that one guy who got robbed at the very beginning of Therion's chapter? Turns out he's also a thief! Go figure.

Nothing of interest in his inventory, mostly vendor fodder that's better stolen.

It seems everyone here is either an upstanding citizen or an outright scumbag.

Here's a guy just trying to live out what little time he has left with his family in peace.

Naturally, we beat the tar outta him.

Though he does have some magic skills, including Ice Storm and Lux Congerere.

Funnily enough, we don't really need the Steal buff since the majority of the items in this town can already be stolen at 100%.

This ageless fellow is the only thing of note in the northern part of the town where the abandoned church resides.
