'''Midenhall''' ('Laurasia' in the original Japanese version) is a castle located in northeast [[Torland]], and is the starting location of ''[[Dragon Quest II]]''.  It is one of the three [[List of Kingdoms in Dragon Quest|kingdoms]] established by the [[Hero (Dragon Quest)|descendant of Erdrick]] and [[Princess Gwaelin]] as well as the oldest. At the beginning of the story, a wounded soldier arrives from the kingdom of [[Moonbrooke]] to tell the king of the events of [[Hargon]]'s attack on his cousin's castle, setting the plot of the game into motion as the [[Prince of Midenhall]] sets out to save the world.

Often thought to be the most powerful due to the strength possessed by the [[Prince of Midenhall]], it is where the wounded soldier from [[Moonbrooke]] goes instead of [[Cannock]], which is much closer.

==Castle Treasures==

Upon leaving the throne room at the start of the game, The King gives The Hero a chest containing both a [[Copper sword]] and 50 [[Gold]] Coins.  The chest will only be there until the area is exited, thus being possible to miss.

===[[Mark of Erdrick]]===

The Mark of Erdrick is obtainable from the treasure room after getting the [[Golden Key]].

===[[Lightning staff]]===

Midenhall has a jail that houses an [[Wrecktor]] (a Magus in the [[Game Boy]] Color remake) that will drop the [[Princess of Moonbrooke]]'s best weapon, the Lightning Staff.  

In the NES version of ''II'', the Wrecktor will revive after the player saves and resets their game, allow them to pummel the monster over and over to sell duplicates of the staff at a massive profit.  Though both remakes remove the trick allowing for only one Staff.
