Biography[]
One of Zenias's towns, it is full of people who sing and dance with a cheerful atmosphere all around, with a bright light that protects its citizens from danger. Eduardo is the town's mayor.
That is because, in truth, all the original inhabitants were wiped out long ago during the Jia Kut Clan's attack on Zenias; the inhabitants lost their bodies and should have died, but a mysterious traveling woman visited their town and used her magical powers to save them, making their souls linger in the mortal world inside the body of a doll, as if they were their original one. Eduardo, a genius dollmaker himself, worked alongside her for quite some time creating the replica bodies for their souls, himself including. But on the verge of completing the restoration she disappeared without a trace; Eduardo then promised to her that he would forever protect the smiles of the people of Muniyeka Town.
Unfortunately, his desire to protect the town slowly became twisted, forcibly stealing people's souls and putting them into doll bodies, convinced that otherwise they wouldn't be able to survive the harshness of Zenias. When they visited the town, he kidnapped Estelle, Nublet, and Porte, as well as the Hero, wanting to turn them all into dolls, even managing to create frames for the first two, before being confronted by the escaped Porte and Hero. He confronted the two, controlling the pupped bodies of Estelle and Naburetto, and almost got the upper hand taking advantage of Porte and the Hero's surprise at the revelation of the secret of the town, before the real Naburetto and Estelle barged in and rescued them. The situation de-escalated when Eduardo, realizing that the "power of miracles" that made possible for the dolls to be imbued with souls was fading faster than before, became desperate and meek.
After somewhat apologizing for his earlier actions, Eduardo explained the situation to the Ember explorers, who decided to help him make sure the "power of miracles" would not fade. Under the hunch that the nearby sacred Spring of Spirits may hold a clue to how to save the town, the group began to proceed towards it. There, after confronting a vengeful lingering spirit, Robert the Griever, the group were dismayed to find the spring dried up and as such, apparently no way to prevent the death of Muniyeka Town's citizens.
Just then, however, Porte, now mysteriously sporting a completely different personality, lended a hand by tapping into an underground water vein, revitalizing the spring, and with it the "power of miracles", or rather the Power of Creation with it. Thanks to the water, Eduardo was able to repair the immobile doll, and the townsfolk returned to their happy lifestyle. Eduardo rewarded the Ember Explorers, and as such the Star Seal Crystal received some Benevolessence, although, before leaving, Porte briefly perceived an unknown presence observing them.
