Mercado

Cantlin (Mercado) is a walled city located in the south central area of Alefgard.

Dragon Quest I

In Dragon Quest, the city of Mercado is typically the last major city the Hero visits. It is surrounded by some of the strongest outer world monsters. When first approached, the city is guarded by a Golem monster, which is triggered when the Hero first attempts to enter the mountain range surrounding the city. This battle is a one time event, and is the only place where a Golem can be encountered. The weapons and armor shop in Mercado sells the best equipment the character can purchase in the game.

Dragon Quest III

In Dragon Quest III, Mercado contains references to its future representation in Dragon Quest I, such as a man contemplating the construction of a Golem to protect the city from attackers. There's also shops here, but not very useful, due to Zoma making them lose their will.
