History[]

According to Cynthia, Toulouse is where the majority of Claymore warriors (including the top three single-digits) are stationed, so they can quickly move to the other four regions of island.^[7]

Site of the Holy City of Rabona.^[8]

In Scene 90, Dietrich says Rabona is in the heartland of continent—rather than Rabona itself being dead center of continent, as in current translations.^[9]

Region appears unaffiliated with Abyssal Ones or the Organization.^[10]
