Jowston Hill (ジョウストンの丘, Jousuton no Oka) is a location in Suikoden II.
Information
Jowston Hill, located in the west of Muse City, was named after the famed general and former mayor of Muse, Jowston who had held off the invading Highland Army from the hill for two months.
The Jowston Alliance was signed under the large tree on the side of the hill, founding the City-State of Jowston, named ostensibly after the hill and not the Muse mayor. Jowston Hill was commonly regarded as the center of the alliance.
Members of the Alliance would continue to meet at Jowston Hill for the Hilltop Conference and other ceremonies until its dissolution in the Dunan Unification War.
