Esthar is a mysterious city hidden on the eastern continent. It was created after Centra's destruction, and since it was well-hidden from the moon monsters, they got time to build it VERY huge, with advanced technology and defenses. Over the years, they put much of their efforts on the spatial travels and on the understandement of the sorceresses' powers.
The Esthar armors and weapons are derived from an ancient technology from Centra, in some way similar to the one used by Galbadia Garden.
