The '''Roamer Encampment''' (formerly '''Deja Camp''') is a camp site located on an island to the northwest of [[Estard]] Island. It belongs to the [[Roamers]], a nomadic tribe on a quest to revive [[the Almighty]].

==Story==
The {{Party 7}} finds the encampment after being sent into the past from the [[Shrine of Mysteries]]. At the moment, the tribe is busy inducting a new dancer, [[Lala]]. When they are finished, they present her to the tribe. [[Kiefer]] immediately falls in love with her. The [[Roamers]] celebrate their new dancer with singing, dancing, and drinking their special wine, the Spirit of the Dance. [[Lala]], however, is distant. She hides in her tent away from the festivities. [[Kiefer]] tries to approach her but is nervous, a quality that he has not shown before. He tells the {{Hero 7}} to get some wine so that he could give some to [[Lala]]. When he procures it, they both enter the tent. [[Kiefer]] asks her why she isn't celebrating with the others. She tells them that she doesn't feel like it. [[Lala]] asks her where they are from, to which he replies [[Estard]]. She asks where it is and he responds that it is out in the ocean. He tells her that there is a [[Kiefer|prince]] from that castle who loves to weasel out of his responsibilities. [[Lala]] tells him that she can relate, to the surprise of [[Kiefer]].

They are interrupted by [[Florin]], the tribe's torban player. He immediately accuses [[Kiefer]] of trying to steal his fiancé. But [[Lala]] tells him that they were just talking. [[Florin]] is not convinced but lets the issue drop.

When the tribe is asleep, {{MFamilies}}s attack the tribe. The tribe's Guardian, Boldo, is fending off monsters with [[Kiefer]]. Boldo is poisoned by one of the {{MFamilies}}s. [[Kiefer]], who is protecting [[Lala]], defeats an [[Ulcer]]. When the {{Hero 7}} talks to [[Kiefer]], he tells them that they could have used his swordsmanship. Madam Rosa tries to help out Boldo, but he still needs three days rest to fully recover from his injuries. Because of this, he is unable to go with the rest of the tribe to the Altar of the Almighty. [[Lala]], his daughter, refuses to go without her father so she decides to wait until her father gets better. [[Kiefer]] volunteers to protect both of them until they are ready to make the journey. [[Florin]] refuses at first, saying that this is just a ploy by [[Kiefer]] to take him away from [[Lala]]. He then decides to stay with [[Lala]] as well. However, Rom Baro rebukes him, saying that they need [[Florin]]'s torban playing to fend off the {{MFamilies}}s. [[Florin]] relents to this request.

The next morning, the {{Party 7}} sets out to go through the [[Mountain Pass (Dragon Quest VII)|Mountain Pass]] on their way to the altar. After crossing the cave, the [[Roamers]] once again set up camp for the night. The next morning, they head towards the temple.

The [[Roamers]] find the Altar but run into a problem. The altar is submerged and they have no idea how to access it. [[Florin]], getting impatient, asks the {{Party 7}} to explore the adjoining [[Poolside Cave|cave]] with him to see if they can find clues as to how to drain the lake. He takes the Chimes of the Chosen with him and head inside the cave.

After journeying through the cave, they find an altar which tells them to place the Chimes of the Chosen onto the altar to drain the lake. [[Florin]] does so and the lake is drained. Heading outside the {{Party 7}} finds that the [[Roamers]] are standing outside the temple. On the steps of the temple, there is a plaque which reads that with the Torban of Truth shining like a bright fire and the [[Vestment of Virtue]] donned by the holy dancer, a new era will be born. Reading this plaque activates a switch and the stairs open up and reveal a secret corridor. The {{Party 7}} goes through the corridor and find the Torban of Truth and the Vestment of Virtue. At that moment, [[Kiefer]] and [[Lala]] enter the corridor. [[Lala]], on the journey, sprained her ankle. [[Florin]] is mad at [[Kiefer]] for her injury but [[Lala]] rebukes him, saying that it wasn't his fault. [[Kiefer]] helps [[Lala]] out of the corridor.

[[Florin]] takes out the Torban of Truth and the Vestment of Virtue from the corridor and it seals up again. He wants to perform the ceremony now but Rom Baro tells him that the torban isn't shining at all. He tells him that the time is not right to revive [[Numen|the Almighty]]. [[Florin]] is furious at the chief for giving up without trying. He tells [[Lala]] to dance with the Vestment of Virtue on while he plays the Torban of Truth. He then tells the people to pray for [[Numen|the Almighty]]'s revival. Together, they perform the Revival of the Almighty ceremony. 

In the end, it is not successful. Rom Baro tells [[Florin]] not to be depressed as there will be another time for the ceremony. [[Florin]] tells him that his reason for performing the ceremony was because once [[Numen|the Almighty]] was revived, he would be freed from his duties. He reveals that he has the Earth Mark on his body. He tells them that he wasn't born with it but one day, it appeared on him. This is why he wanted the ceremony to be complete so that he could marry [[Lala]] without repercussions. As punishment for his deceit, he decides to exile himself from the tribe. [[Lala]] tries to convince him not to go but Rom Baro stops her, telling her that she couldn't marry him anyways because of tribal laws.

Rom Baro asks the {{Hero 7}} and his {{Party 7}} to fill the lake with water again to prevent anything happening to the temple in their absence. The {{Party 7}} does so and returns to camp.

During the night, [[Kiefer]] talks to the Hero. He talks about destiny and the mark on the {{Hero 7}}'s arm. He muses how great it must be to have a destiny. he wonders if there is something that he alone can do as he is not cut out for succeeding his father, [[King Donald]]. 

The next day, [[Kiefer]] fights Boldo for the right to become a Roamer Guardian. He is successful and defeats Boldo in single combat. The chief acknowledges his strength and makes him a member of the Roamer Tribe.

[[Kiefer]] tells the {{Hero 7}} that this is where they will part ways as he is now a Roamer now. He takes the {{Party 7}} to the teleportal and pushes them in, sending them back to the present.

==Present==
Eight generations have passed since the {{Party 7}} last encountered the [[Roamers]]. After the events at [[Hubble]], the {{Hero 7}}, [[Ruff]] and [[Sir Mervyn]] encounter the tribe again on word that [[Pollock]] has seen them on his expedition. The {{Party 7}} visit the tribe to see that they are inducting a new tribal dancer. However, [[Aishe]], the woman who is to be the new dancer leaves without completing the ceremony. The {{Party 7}} talks to the chief and he tells them that [[Aishe]] has always been headstrong and once she has set her mind to do something, she does it, just like the rest of her family. He asks the {{Party 7}} to go after her.

The {{Party 7}} follows [[Aishe]] to a hill overlooking a body of water. There, she is paying respect to the grave of the Holy Dancer and Holy Guardian. When the {{Party 7}} talks to her, she tells them about the significance of the grave. She asks if they have come by orders of the chief. Regardless of what the {{Party 7}} answers, she tells them that she isn't ready to become the tribe's dancer. She leaves.

[[Aishe]] returns to the tent of the chief. She tells him that she isn't able to put her heart into her dancing until a suitable torban player is found. The chief doesn't want [[Aishe]] to go because she is the tribe's dancer. She tells him that she has found suitable traveling companions, namely, the {{Party 7}}, who arrives at this time. The chief relents, knowing that [[Aishe]] will do what she wants anyways. He gives her the Torban of Truth and charges her with finding a player worth of it. He asks the {{Party 7}} to protect her. [[Aishe]] and the {{Party 7}} set off to find the torban player.

==Cameos==
==={{DQ11}}===
The Roamer encampment appears twice in the Altar of the Forgotten Past in the [[Echo Chamber]], both during the day and later on at night. The first scenario involves [[Lala]] succumbing to a serious illness after a {{MFamilies}} attack and [[Kiefer]], like any good husband, runs off to find the cure. Rom Baro explains that [[Kiefer]] has sprinted off to the [[Rainbow Mines]] to retrieve a green gem that is capable of curing all ailments--but it has been some time since he departed and the [[Roamers]] grow worried. 

The {{Luminary}} and his {{Party 11}} venture back to the mines and discover [[Kiefer]] stuck between a rock and a hard place on the bottom floor, freeing him. Expressing his thanks, the group is attacked by [[Obstructicus]]--a living statue sent to kill the prince of [[Estard]]. [[Kiefer]] states he is impressed with the {{Luminary}} for making quick work of the {{MFamilies}}, and mentions that he reminds him of an [[Hero (Dragon Quest VII)|old friend]] before breaking off a green rainbow shard and returning to the Roamer camp. The travellers are overjoyed to see [[Lala]] back on her feet, and the {{Luminary}} is rewarded with [[Yggdrasil dew]]. Rom Baro also mentions that the green shard [[Kiefer]] brought back has an odd inscription etched on to it, and repeats the phrase aloud: this unlocks the night time scenario within the camp.

The second scenario has the sacred torban's strings being cut by a {{MFamilies}}, and must be replaced. [[Lala]] states that these strings can only be replaced with the hair of the [[Hot dog]]s  that prowl the [[Pillar of Pegasus]]. These strands of fur are dropped after battle, and a text prompt reminds the player to return to the Roamer camp. [[Lala]] is overjoyed at the torban being repaired, and rewards the {{Luminary}} with a pair of [[Elevating Shoes]]. She also mentions that she can feel her child kick each time the torban is played, insuring that the linage of divine dancers will continue.
