==Plot==

Long before the game began, a man named [[{{Hero (III)}}|Erdrick]] returned peace to the land of Alefgard by defeating a [[Zoma|A great demon]]. This peace came in the form of the sacred [[Sphere of Light|Ball of Light]]. Erdrick bequeathed this sacred artifact to [[King Lorik|King]], and bestowed two sacred artifacts to wise sages. The descendants of the aforementioned sages eventually hand over these artifacts to the {{Hero 3, Erdrick eventually left [[Alefgard]] and was never seen again. Years passed and everyone was happy. Everyone but one person, that is. This man was not happy with the way things were. He lived in the western mountain cave, far from Tantegel's walls. One day, whilst exploring deep within the cave, he came across a sleeping [[dragon]]. Suddenly, the dragon awoke and the man became very frightened. When he closed his eyes to stop himself from seeing his demise, nothing happened. The man grew tired of waiting and threw a stick to distract the dragon. To his surprise, the dragon picked it up in his mouth and brought it back to the man, like a dog. After that he discovered he could make the dragon do whatever he wanted. He then named himself the Dragonlord. Naught but a few minutes later, a disaster occurred: [[Dragonlord's Castle|Charlock Castle]] rose from its dirt grave, and everyone, even the children playing in the streets, knew this was a bad omen. A few moments later, a swarm of [[Slime]]s, [[Ghost]]s, [[Dragons]], and other monsters attacked Tantegel and the villages across [[Alefgard]]. Though they fought bravely, the years of peace had made the people weak, and the Ball of Light was stolen by the Dragonlord.

At night, they could hear [[Slimes]] and [[Drackys]] scratching and mumbling along the walls of Tantegel. [[Princess Gwaelin]], the daughter of the king, was kidnapped by the minions of the [[Dragonlord]], and so the King fell into a deep depression over his kidnapped daughter, even though the legends told of a descendant of Erdrick coming to restore peace. The King believed it to be a myth until one day a [[scrawny-looking young man|Hero (Dragon Quest)]] appeared at the King's feet and asked permission to retrieve the Ball of Light and save Princess Gwaelin. Since many other proud warriors had volunteered and failed, the King had nearly given up hope. But he saw a light in this young man's eyes, and so suddenly he knew this man was the descendant of Erdrick. Giving him a few items and some gold, the King sent the warrior out to slay the Dragonlord.
