==Name Origin==
Nadiria contains several towns in Dragon Quest VI, including: [[Despairia]], [[Greedmore Valley]] & [[Gallows Moor]]. It also contains 2 shrines ([[Lotus Lagoon]] & [[Prison of Sorrow]]) which provide access to return to the real world.  [[Mortamor's Dreadlair]] is the last location visited in Nadiria and is the location of the final boss.
*The name "Nadiria" is derived from ''nadir'', meaning the lowest point, or (appropriately) point of greatest adversity or despair.


In order to reach Nadiria, the heroes must have acquired the [[Reigns of Pegasus]].  This item allows Falchion, the horse which pulls the wagon to fly and reach Nadiria.
