'''Leiamland''' ~~(formerly '''Liamland''')~~ is an island in the [[Overworld (Dragon Quest III)|overworld]] of ''[[Dragon Quest III]]''. It is located south of [[Theddon]] and is meant to represent Antarctica in the real world, although it is not of a relative size. ~~The term ''Leiamland'' is used to refer to both the island and the shrine on the island.~~

'''Leiamland''' is an island in the [[Overworld (Dragon Quest III)|overworld]] of ''[[Dragon Quest III]]''. It is located south of [[Theddon]], east of [[Lanson]], and is meant to represent Antarctica in the real world, although it is not of a relative size.

The shrine of Leiamland is the nest of the egg of [[Ramia]], guarded by twin girls who speak in unison and beseech the [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|Hero]] to gather the [[Six Orbs]] to hatch the Everbird. The twins will also keep track of the number of orbs that have been gathered, but are unable give hints as to their locations.

Leiamland is first alluded to by the prisoner in Theddon, who tells the Hero to gather the orbs and travel to the southernmost continent.

====Remake changes====

In the [[Game Boy|GBC]] Version, the spot that was occupied by Ramia will become a portal to the [[Ice Cave]], a second [[Bonus Dungeon]]. The entrance, will become available after making a wish to [[Xenlon]].

====Treasure (remakes only)====

*[[Mini medal]]

====Nearby monsters====

*[[Boreal serpent]]

*[[Firn fiend]]

~~==Shrine of Leiamland==~~

~~The shrine of Leiamland is the location of the egg of [[Ramia]]. The shrine serves as the location where the [[Six Orbs]] must be brought and placed on the alter in order to hatch the egg.~~

==~~Treasure (Remakes only)~~==

==Etymology==

*[[~~Mini medal]]~~

*The Japanese name, ''Reiamurando'', is derived from [[wikipedia:Graham Land|Graham Land]], the British name for the largest peninsula on the Antarctic continent.

:*The localization name of ''Leiamland'' and it's predecessor are the result of the translation team not picking up on the geographic reference through the Japanese script's use of a homophone (--raham and reiam-- are pronounced the same), and as such [[wikipedia:Perception of English /r/ and /l/ by Japanese speakers|assumed the first letter should have been an L instead of an R]].

~~==Remake==~~

~~In the [[Game Boy~~|~~GBC~~]] ~~Version~~, the ~~spot that was occupied by Ramia will become a portal to~~ the ~~[[Ice Cave]], a second [[Bonus Dungeon]]~~. The ~~entrance~~, ~~will become available after making a wish to~~ [[~~Xenlon~~]].

==Trivia==

*~~The Japanese~~ name, ~~''Reiamurando'',~~ is ~~derived from~~ [[wikipedia:~~Graham Land~~|~~Graham Land~~]], ~~a peninsula on~~ the ~~Antarctic continent~~.

*Leiamland is never actually mentioned by name in the Square Enix script, with fans only discovering the difference by looking at the files of the mobile phone version. Casting [[Storeyteller]] will reveal nothing when used in the shrine.

*Twins girls speaking in harmony and protecting a massive egg is an allusion to the 1961 tokusatsu film [[wikipedia:Mothra (film)|Mothra]], with Ramia's egg even bearing the same markings as the eponymous insect.
