'''Zamoksva''' is a [[List of Kingdoms in Dragon Quest|kingdom]] found in {{Dragon Quest IV}}.

Zamoksva Castle is the home of  Tsarevna [[Alena]] and her father, [[Tsar Stepan]].  It is also the home of [[Kiryl]] and [[Borya]], and is the starting location for {{DQ4 Chapter 2}}.


==Appearances==
==={{DQ4}}===
The land ruled by the Tsar of Zamoksva includes Zamoksva Castle, the town of [[Zalenagrad]], the village of [[Taborov]], the town of [[Vrenor]], the [[Vault of Vrenor]], the land of the annual [[Desert Bazaar]], the [[Birdsong Tower]], and the [[Zamoksva/Endor Teleportal|Shrine to Endor]].  The kingdom is completely surrounded by ocean, but nearby to the east is the kingdom of [[Ballymoral]], to the southeast is the kingdom of [[Endor]], to the southwest is the [[Dunplundrin]] Island, and to the northwest is the Island Kingdom of [[Canalot]].

The castle itself is a 3-story structure with sleeping quarters for the royal family on the top floor, a throne room on the middle floor, and a treasure room, a courtyard, a kitchen, sleeping quarters for the kingdom's soldiers, and a religious study where [[Kiryl]] undergoes his priestly training. In the treasure room are two important quest items obtained in {{DQ4 Chapter 5}}, namely the [[Flute of Revelation]] and the [[Magma Staff]].

[[Alena]] departs the castle after kicking down a wall in her room, annoyed that her father disapproves of her tomboyish nature and refusal to allow her outside the ramparts. Predicting such a thing would happen, the Tsar ordered [[Borya]] and [[Kiryl]] to keep an eye on his daughter while she traips through the kingdom. Upon reaching the [[Desert Bazaar]] after a series of misadventures, [[Alena]] is informed by a castle guard that the Tsar has experienced night terrors and is rendered unable to speak. Returning to Zamoksva to see the poor state of her father, [[Alena]] looks for a clue and is aided by Joseph Starling of [[Zalenagrad]], who explains that a drop of [[Birdsong nectar]] always cures him whenever his own larynx clamps shut. 

[[Alena]], [[Kiryl]] and [[Borya]] retrieve the nectar and administer it to the Tsar, who regains his voice and acknowledges that his daughter does not need his overbearing protection: she is free to go where she likes as long as she takes care of herself. Overjoyed, [[Alena]] sets forth for the [[Tournament of Endor|tournament]] in [[Endor]]. Once it is over, [[Alena]] returns to find the inhabitants of the castle have mysteriously disappeared.  [[Alena]] and her companions head out to find out what happened to them, concluding the second chapter of the game.

Later on in {{DQ4 Chapter 5}}, Zamoksva becomes the base for [[Balzack]] and his minions.  Once [[Balzack]] is defeated by the {{Hero 4}} and {{Party 4}}, the {{MFamilies}}s vacate (although random encounters can still happen) and the treasure room becomes accessible. Finally after beating the entire game, the inhabitants of the castle return.

====Remake changes====
*In the {{NES}}, due to it being possible to obtain [[Birdsong nectar|Nectar]] from the [[Birdsong Tower]] after getting the [[Thief's Key]], the king can be given the nectar upon learning of his condition.  The remakes prevents the party from doing this quest out of sequence as the {{Elves}} don't show up until speaking to Starek, Josef and the [[item shop]] owner from the [[Desert Bazaar]] at night.
*During {{DQ4 Chapter 5}} in the {{NES}} version, the entire castle is accessible even before [[Balzack]]'s defeat. In the remake, the upstairs area is blocked off temporarily when [[Balzack]] is present.

==Etymology==
*In the {{NES}} localization, Santohaim (roughly, home of saints; -heim is a common suffix for German place names) was renamed Santeem. In the {{DS}} localizations, the [[Alena]] chapter was given a Russian theme and Santohaim became Zamoksva.

==Trivia==
*It is revealed in {{DQM3}} that the citizens of Zamoksva were imprisoned in [[Diabolic Hall]] after chapter 2, explaining their absence for the majority of the game.
