The entrance to Conde Petie.

Conde Petie (コンデヤ・パタ, Kondeya Pata) is the city of the dwarven race in Final Fantasy IX, located on the Outer Continent. The city also doubles as a border gate to a mountain path that leads to the Iifa Tree and Madain Sari, the ancient city of the Summoner race.

Description

A single flat building shaped like a bridge, Conde Petie was built astride two Iifa roots. This location was chosen, according to Darcy Skywatcher, for its proximity to both the mountains and the forests and for its ample sunlight, which are considered sacred to the Dwarves.

Conde Petie receives few visitors, save for "Pyntie-het" traders from the Black Mage Village. In order to gain entry, visitors must say the Dwarves' sacred greeting, "Rally-ho!", preferably with a wide mouth and raised hand. Nuts and berries, some of which are brought by Black Mage traders, are a staple food source, though attract thieves. Boiled owl, seasoned oglop, fried rootbeans, and pumpkin bombs are also popular delicacies.

The symbol of Conde Petie is a Kirkboat, where Father David Heavenguard blesses marriages. Prior to the events of Final Fantasy IX, 99 couples had undergone the ceremony.

As with Esto Gaza, neither the town of Conde Petie nor the mountain path is accessible after the party has visited Terra, due to the presence of Iifa roots blocking all entrances.

Story

Zidane is "married" to Garnet.

Zidane must pass through here to get to the Iifa Tree, but passage is only allowed for those who have just gotten married. Zidane and Garnet have a pretend-marriage and are allowed through; Quina and Vivi may do likewise or sneak past during a ruckus caused by Eiko, depending on the player's choice.
