Upon his victory, the hero and [[Princess Gwaelin]] leave Alefgard to explore and found new kingdoms in foreign regions.

''[[Dragon Quest II]]'' begins with a demonic siege on the kingdom of [[Moonbrooke]], one of many kingdoms founded by the hero of Dragon Quest I, by the mad priest [[Hargon]] and his apocalyptic cult. In response, the [[Prince of Midenhall]] is sent by his father to join forces with his cousins to stamp out the mad man's ambitions. The Prince of Midenhall, the [[Prince of Cannock]], and the [[Princess of Moonbrooke]] travel together throughout Alefgard and the greater the world [[Torland]], saving villages and towns from the cult's invasions before attacking the heart of evil in the frozen plateau of [[Rendarak]].
