'''Manoza''' is a castle town in the [[Overworld (Dragon Quest III)| overworld]] of {{Dragon Quest III}}.

It corresponds to Brazil's placement in South America in the real world, and is surrounded by impassable mountains and can only be breached via the [[Wayfarer's Chapel]] teleportal or by [[Ramia]].  

==Appearances==
==={{DQ3}}===
The {{Hero 3}}'s first arrival in Manoza is a grim one, with a funeral being held for a man named Breno. Speaking to the people gathered, the {{Party 3}} learns that he was put to death for no more than just speaking ill of the King. The regent has said to have been very kind-hearted and considerate to his subjects in the recent past, but has all of a sudden become a tyrannical despot who rules with an iron fist. The villagers are distraught, with some families willing to risk the dangers of the wild just to escape living in fear of being put to death every waking moment. The world-famous swordsman [[Simão]] was banished by the king as well, sentenced to life in prison in the hellish [[Shrine of Shackles]]

Upon entering the castle, the {{Party 3}} will see that the staff is walking on the same eggshells that the normal citizens are. Guards obey needlessly cruel orders, kitchen staff prepare disgusting meals of bat wings and lizard tails, and dancing girls are forced to perform for hours on end in the throne room even while the King slumbers upstairs. Upon speaking to the dictator, the King will declare that he doesn't like the look of the {{Hero 3}} and has the {{Party 3}} thrown into the dungeon. Fortunately, the guards play dumb and allow the {{Hero 3}} to escape through the secret tunnel below the castle, and here the real king is found. 

The true King explains that Manoza has been taken over by a [[Boss troll]] who is impersonating him via his stolen [[Mod Rod]]. The heroes must retrieve the [[Ra's Mirror]] from the [[Manoza Cave]] in the southeast and use it on the impostor while he sleeps in order to reveal his true identity.

The troll is stupid enough to sleep without guards posted, allowing the {{Hero 3}} to slip into the chamber easily. 

Upon the deceiver's death, the country declares that the {{Hero 3}} is nothing short of the savior of the land and peace is restored.

====Usage of Manoza in another area====
*B1F of the Castle is used as 7F of the {{Cloudsgate Citadel 3}}.

==={{DQ3HD}}===
Manoza remains unchanged from previous versions of the game, though somber music will play until the boss troll is killed. Said brute also explicitly states his allegiance to [[Baramos]], pinning the kingdom's suffering on the Archfiend. The [[Son of Simão]] now has a distinct sprite of his own, and will have special dialogue once Baramos is killed.

==={{DQStars}}===
The Manoza scenario reappears in the [[Cell phone]] title, with the [[boss troll]] serving as the boss fight.

==Notable Resident==
*'''Breno''' (Originally '''Barano''' and '''Brennan''') - Executed for bad mouthing the [[Boss troll|king]].  The {{Hero 3}} and {{Party 3}} first arrive to town as he is mourned, thus prompting them to investigate the ruler.

==Trivia==
*"Manoza" is an anagram of "Amazon", as in the [[wikipedia:Amazon rainforest|Amazon rainforest]].
*Manoza is the only only town other than the [[Immigrant Town (Dragon Quest III)|Immigrant Town]] to have different townspeople placement at a certain time during the events of the game.  Upon the first visit, the {{Hero 3}} and {{Party 3}} witness the ongoing funeral of Breno with his family and friends attending. This occurs only on the first visit and afterward all townspeople are located in their normal locations.
