'''Aliahan''' is a [[List of Kingdoms in Dragon Quest|kingdom]] and a castle town found in [[Enix America Corporation|Enix's]] ''[[Dragon Quest III]]''. Located on a small continent in the southern ocean, it is said that Aliahan once ruled over the whole world, but the travel door to the other lands was sealed off until the hero [[Erdrick]] broke the seal with a magic ball. Aliahan was home to the great hero [[Ortega]], as well as the famous [[Erdrick]] of [[Alefgard]]. Aliahan is the starting place of ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'' and is also notable for being the location of [[Patty's Party Planning Place]].
'''Aliahan''' is a [[List of Kingdoms in Dragon Quest|kingdom]] found in {{DQ3}}.


==Geography==
Located on a small continent in the southeastern ocean, Aliahan is the land from which the {{Hero 3}} ventures forth into the wider world to save it from the fiend [[Baramos]]. It's kingdom includes the castle town of the same name near the southern bay, and the smaller town of [[Reeve]] in the northwest.  
[[Image:KingOfAliahanArt.png|right|thumb|110px|The King of Aliahan]]
Although most locations in the world of ''Dragon Quest III'' mimic real world locations, the continent of Aliahan does not.  This seems to support the supposition that the Hero hails from a distant and mysterious place rather than one based on a real world location. It could also be intended to be a reference to Atlantis, a lost continent mentioned by Plato.


==Treasures==
Interestingly, the continent serves as an excellent tutorial for new players to the series as it features a castle, two towns, [[Promontory Passage|two]] distinct [[Path of Promise|dungeons]], [[Dreamer's Tower|a tower]], and enemies that provide different types of threats.

The [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|hero]]'s house is located in Aliahan. This is where the player begins the game.

It is said that Aliahan once ruled over the whole world several centuries ago, but war broke out and the country's territory was reduced to the island continent seen in the game. In modern times Aliahan maintains peaceful relations with other nations under its wise king, but the teleportal to the mainland was sealed off. The player must break the seal with the [[Wrecking ball]] to reach [[Romaria]] and begin the adventure in earnest.

====Patty's Party Planning Place====
====Patty's Party Planning Place====
Patty's Party Planning Place is a tavern located in Aliahan. It is a unique location that consists of both a hall of registration, where new party members can be created and named, and a draft counter where party members can be added or removed. This is where the player receives new companions throughout the game. However, as added party members are controlled completely by the player, these characters do not take part in the storyline in any way.
[[Patty]] will give the player the ability to customize their party as they see fit at her [[Patty's Party Planning Place|bar]] in the northwestern section of the town. Pre-designed characters are ready for recruitment on the first floor, and further options can be requested on the second floor. Additionally, the bar is the location any victim of the [[Blasto]] spell is spirited away to.


Patty's Party Planning Place is also the location where a party member can be found after being a victim of a [[Bazoom|Limbo]] spell.
====Medal king====
In the remakes of {{III}}, there is a shack at the bottom of the castle town's well where the medal king lives. He serves the same purpose as his contemporaries in other titles do, and his system uses the accumulation method of issuing rewards rather than using the medals as a currency to purchase items with.


====Medal King====
In the remakes of ''Dragon Quest III'', the medal king lives in the bottom of the well in Aliahan.  He accepts [[mini medals]] in exchange for various item prizes.
====[[Vault]]====
====[[Vault]]====
In ''[[Dragon Warrior III]]'' for NES, the party could store items here for a small fee upon retrieval. Gold could also be stored in 1,000 piece increments.  
In the {{NES}} version, the party had limited item slots due to hardware restraints and could store additional items here for a small fee upon retrieval. [[Gold]] could also be stored in 1,000 piece increments.
 
In the {{Super Famicom}} version onwards, the vault became only a [[Bank|gold bank]], since the item storage was no longer necessary with the addition of the [[bag]].

Aliahan is a kingdom found in Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation.

Located on a small continent in the southeastern ocean, Aliahan is the land from which the Hero ventures forth into the wider world to save it from the fiend Baramos. It's kingdom includes the castle town of the same name near the southern bay, and the smaller town of Reeve in the northwest.

Interestingly, the continent serves as an excellent tutorial for new players to the series as it features a castle, two towns, two distinct dungeons, a tower, and enemies that provide different types of threats.

Appearances[edit | edit source]

Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation[edit | edit source]

The King of Aliahan

It is said that Aliahan once ruled over the whole world several centuries ago, but war broke out and the country's territory was reduced to the island continent seen in the game. In modern times Aliahan maintains peaceful relations with other nations under its wise king, but the teleportal to the mainland was sealed off. The player must break the seal with the Wrecking ball to reach Romaria and begin the adventure in earnest.

As the birthplace of Ortega, Aliahan has garnered a reputation as the home of heroes. The legacy of the incredible man has spread to nearly every corner of the world, and with it the reputation of Aliahan.

The Hero's home[edit | edit source]

The party can stay for free at the Hero's home at the behest of their mother. This room and board lasts until the death of Baramos.

Patty's Party Planning Place[edit | edit source]

Patty will give the player the ability to customize their party as they see fit at her bar in the northwestern section of the town. Pre-designed characters are ready for recruitment on the first floor, and further options can be requested on the second floor. Additionally, the bar is the location any victim of the Blasto spell is spirited away to.

Medal king[edit | edit source]

In the remakes of III, there is a shack at the bottom of the castle town's well where the medal king lives. He serves the same purpose as his contemporaries in other titles do, and his system uses the accumulation method of issuing rewards rather than using the medals as a currency to purchase items with.

Vault[edit | edit source]

In the NES version, the party had limited item slots due to hardware restraints and could store additional items here for a small fee upon retrieval. Gold could also be stored in 1,000 piece increments.

In the Super Famicom version onwards, the vault became only a gold bank, since the item storage was no longer necessary with the addition of the bag.

Aliahan has been slightly redesigned, with the player being able to enter from the east, west, and southern gates. A nun has been placed near the eastern entrance for convenient saving, as the royalty of the world have passed that duty on to the clergy as in all post-Dragon Quest IV games. Patty's Party Planning Place has been given a revamped exterior with a curving glass awning for outdoor dining, and observant players will notice two homages to Dragon Quest XI: there is a world map of Erdrea hung in the northwest corner of the castle's first floor and the Hero's mother keeps a red and a green book similar to the ones found in the ending of the eleventh game.

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age[edit | edit source]

The Hero can visit Aliahan through the Echo Chamber. He is taken to a time just before the marriage of Ortega and his fiance, and sees that several villagers have gathered in the woman's house to prevent the union. As it turns out, this is the work of a monster that was trying to prevent a legendary hero from being born and the party makes quick work of the nuisance. Additionally, the Luminary can get a Personality-altering book from Ortega's father, which can be used to alter Jessica Albert's mind at Chateau Felix.

Dragon Quest Tact[edit | edit source]

Majellan and Mindini find themselves in Aliahan at the end of Chapter 1, Episode 1 of the game's Dragon Quest III event. The duo encounter Patty, who is shocked to encounter friendly monsters, but she warms up to them quickly and invites them to her pub. Afterwards, she encourages them to speak to the townspeople to find a way for them to return to Orchesterra.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

Although most regions in the world of Dragon Quest III mimic real world locations, the continent of Aliahan does not. Its position in the ocean would approximate Australia, but this is already occupied by Lanson, and the shape of Aliahan's landmass does not resemble the continent as well as the former. Due to Aliahan's history as a world-encompassing empire that has since fallen, a closer comparison would be the lost continent of Mu, which is said to have be a colossal landmass in the south Pacific ocean.
