The three cities were called Ice Scar, Purple Lily City, and Tequila City. Purple Lily City lay directly on the only route through the Eastern Mountain Region and was a main city similar to Sky Sword Stronghold. The other two were much the same. This was the main reason Alfonso could not leave the Eastern Mountain Region.
The moment Gaelgar heard the news, he began to think. If he simply handed the three fortresses over to Alfonso, the Matadors would be able to leave the Eastern Mountain Region and enter the outside world.
