Gren

Gren (Kaopita in Japanese) is the wood planet in ''Magical Starsign. ''It is mostly covered by jungle and woodland areas. The giant tree seen on Gren's map is none other than Yggsalad, the Holy Tree.

Native inhabitants contain Felins and Salamanders. It is also the base of Pirate Otter operations, and where they take captured magicians to be transported to Razen.

The Salamanders that inhabit Gren used to live in Yggsalad, but were kicked out of the pirates at some point during the creation of Assam.

At one point the entire planet of Gren was set on fire.

Arrival on Gren
After getting the dwarves to upgrade Neumann with the Mystic Mouse, the player can choose whether or not they travel to Gren or Puffoon first to search for Madeleine. Regardless of their decision, the player and their party must go to Gren at some point.

On arrival to Gren, Neumann is assaulted by a flurry of arrows. At first, they seem harmless, but when Lassi makes a comment about that, a "very sensitive piece of electronics", according to Mokka, is hit, forcing them to make an emergency landing in an area of the Carbonara Jungle. The player and their party leave the rocket, Mokka first. He tests the air to make sure it is safe to breathe, and comments on a varying amount of "strange aromas". They conclude the planet is safe. However, that safety doesn't last for long, as they hear a cry for help from afar.

They quickly jump to help the person in need, and discover two Felin girls. One is being bitten by a Mojo, while the other is simply staring curiously. The player chooses to help the girl that is caught in the Mojo's jaws, and quickly takes it down in a fierce battle. After the Mojo is defeated, the girl who was caught in its jaws thanks the group. She introduces herself as Semolina, and refers to the other girl as "Miss Farina". She tells them that the pirates sent the Mojo after them, and she urges Farina to come with her so they can get some adults to lock it up before it regains its strength. However, before they

can leave, Farina decides to make the Mojo explode using some powerful magic. Semolina scolds Farina about using her magic, stating that she "has to obey what Master Durum says, or else the bad pirates will take you away!". After another thank-you from Semolina, they walk off into the forest.

The Prisoner
The player and co. heads north and finds themselves in Tropica Village. Upon entry, Lassi is startled to see a familiar face.. It's Pico tied up to a wooden post! The group rushes to his side, happy to see him. He tells the group that he had been looking around for the protagonist and the others forever, but is quickly cut off by Tambour, who says that they can't talk to the prisoner. However, they can just sneak around and talk to him again from the back. They learn that Pico and Sorbet also went after the protagonist and Lassi after their sudden departure from the academy, and subsequently crashed on Gren. In the process of looking for her, he got caught by the villagers in Tropica. Pico never saw where Sorbet landed, but has a good feeling that she was kidnapped by the pirates based on what he's heard around town.

The player can also talk to NPCs around town to learn more about the situation. Many express their distaste for Durum's actions, while others simply encourage the player to leave town while they still can. In addition, the player can get their fortune told by Gamelan.

After seeing the player's group speaking with Pico, one of the other villagers assumes that they are friends and suggests that they meet with Durum to try and work something out.

The player and co. eventually have the chance to speak with Durum, and enter his home. They see him yelling at Semolina, wondering how she got hurt earlier and blaming her for the injuries. He stomps off for a moment, leaving the player free to talk to Semolina again. She is sad to hear that they're friends with Pico, and gets very upset when she tells them they have to hand him over to the pirates. The player then looks over at Farina, who is silent as ever and staring into a flower pot. Semolina tells them she won't respond, and likes to stare at the pot for hours. The player then looks at the pot, and sees a mountain of dirt. Semolina explains that Farina once had a pet frog who died. Semolina buried it in the soil of the plant, hoping it would act as a good fertilizer. Farina took notice and started burying all sorts of dead creatures in the soil, and stares at it constantly.

Semolina then tells Farina that the group are friends of Pico, and Farina seems interested. She hops up and looks at the player before running off. Semolina follows, wondering where Farina is going. Durum also notices her leave, shouting for her to be careful and that she shouldn't run off. Durum then notices the player and their group, and invites them to have a chat.

He welcomes them to Tropica and encourages them to stay the night, since they must be tired. One of the villagers asks what he's doing, and the two go off into a corner to mull things over. Although not all the dialogue is readable, it's safe to assume that they're discussing handing over the player and their party to the pirates to protect the village.

After leaving Durum's home, the player can once again talk to NPCs to find their dialogue has changed to reflect what was discussed there.
