Erdrick trilogy: Difference between revisions

The '''Erdrick Trilogy''' refers to the first three games in the main Dragon Quest series. These titles share a similar setting and timeline, and feature a recurring theme of a bloodline chosen by [[Rubiss|divinity]] to repel diabolical forces that want to conquer the kingdom of [[Alefgard]]. The eponymous series takes it's name from [[Erdrick]], the original savior of the land.

[[Dragon Quest III]] is chronologically the first game in the trilogy. It tells the story of [[Erdrick]] freeing his native homeland from the threat of [[Baramos]] and descending to [[Alefgard]] to defeat the arch-fiend [[Zoma]]. After vanquishing him, Erdrick is trapped in Alefgard when the cleft between worlds closes.  

[[Dragon Quest]] tells the story of a descendant of Erdrick stepping forward to defeat a new evil foe who has taken up residence in [[Charlock Castle]]. The [[Hero (Dragon Quest I)|new hero]] follows in his fore-bearer's footsteps and must regain their [[Erdrick Equipment|equipment]] in order to defeat the [[Dragonlord]] and restore order. 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]].
