==Version 1: Awakening of the Five Tribes==
===Plot===
{{spoiler|start}}
In one of the five continents surrounding [[Rendacia]], the {{Hero 10}}'s soul inhabits the body of the [[Protagonist (Dragon Quest X)|Protagonist]], who had recently passed away. The reborn Hero soon finds themselves in a perilous situation with little chance of escape, though the exact events and circumstances vary depending on the race chosen. A bright light erupts from the clouds covering Rendacia, bathing all of [[Astoltia]] in its glow and saving the Hero from imminent death. In the aftermath of this phenomena, a Mark of Adulthood is engraved onto the Hero's Adventure Log, allowing the Hero the potential to earn [[Key Emblem|Key Emblems]], which directly correlate to an adventurer’s level of strength and heroism.

During the Hero’s journey, they meet a sage who can immediately deduce that they had been revived at one point. The sage introduces himself as [[Horro]], and after hearing the Hero’s story, is willing to provide assistance in defeating [[Nelgel]], under the condition that the Hero can present him with no less than 6 Key Emblems. The Hero eventually fulfills this requirement, and Horro directs them to the entrance to Nelgel’s lair, the [[Heart of the Netherlord]]. Horro's attempt to create an opening in Nelgel's barrier fails, though he doesn't lose heart, as there exists an alternative method of entry known as the Haja Boat. Unfortunately, the spell to create the Haja Boat has been lost to time. Horro deduces that if the spell no longer exists in the present day, then the Hero, who had the ability to travel through time as a [[human]], must recover their old body and travel to the past. Horro separates the Hero's soul from the Protagonist’s body, and the Hero departs for Tenton.

Upon arrival, the Hero’s soul is approached by [[Tenda|Tenda's]] ghost, who had been waiting for the Hero to return, even after death. Tenda explains that when she was young, she nearly died during an important ceremony, but a young alchemist came and used their mysterious technique to save her life. That alchemist was the [[Hero's sibling]], having been sent to the distant past so as to escape [[Tenton]]’s destruction. Because of this, Tenda knew that the Hero had the ability to travel through time. She motions for the Hero to follow her to the center of Tenton, where they find their body, protected by the [[Galapogod]]. The Hero immediately reunites with their body, but Nelgel begins attacking the village again. Tenda offers the Tensu Flower that the Hero, their sibling and Singh had retrieved to the Galapogod, and it transforms into a shining pegasus, immediately taking the Hero to the [[Room of Revival]], beyond Nelgel's reach.

The Hero is instructed to use the intercontinental railway as a vessel with which to cross through time, and they travel back 500 years to an era when the world is being terrorized by a false sun named Reidametesu. The Haja Boat’s master, Bernhardt, attempted to infiltrate Reidametesu, but was unsuccessful, perishing as a result. The Hero helps Bernhardt’s son undergo the rituals needed to inherit the spell for creating the boat, and flies inside Reidametesu, where they defeat its [[Razerburn|guardian]], thus causing the false sun to collapse. Bernhardt’s son promises to keep the Haja Boat’s spell alive within his family, and in the present day, the Hero finds the boy’s descendant, who is eager to create the boat for them.

Boarding the Haja Boat, the Hero enters the Heart of the Netherlord, and defeats Nelgel. He warns the Hero, however, that the source of darkness has not been cut off, and that someday, it will create a disaster far worse than anything he could’ve been. The Hero escapes, and is then greeted by Horro once again, who informs them that Nelgel’s seal over Rendāshia is still in place, but someday, access to the continent will be restored. He requests the Hero to provide aid to the princess of Grand Zetannia when that time comes, for she is an awakened [[Hero|Luminary]].
