Dragon Quest X edit
Tenton is the home of the Hero, their siblings, Tenda, her grandson Singh, and the Galapogod, the village's guardian deity. It is an island community with an architecture centered around wooden houses with straw roofs, and a river lays to the east boarder. A wooden monument sits in the center of the village, with the base being made of logs covered with tapestries and the top section being bush with a carving shaped like a winged horse set in the center.
During the prologue of the game, Tenda announces to all the villagers in Tenton that a destruction of the village is quickly approaching, and only one villager will survive. She announces a way to avoid such somber future: getting a mythical flower which is said to avoid calamities. In order to find the flower, the hero, their sibling and Singh set out to a nearby cave. Inside, there is a small bed of flowers like the one they are looking for, but they are destroyed by a monster following orders. The trio confronts the monster and manage to find the last remaining flower. They rush to the village with the flower in hand, but it's already too late: monsters are attacking it. Singh takes the flower and leaves for Tenda, but he is not seen again. Meanwhile, the hero awakens their time-travel powers and sends their sibling through time. An archdemon sees it and tells Netherlord Nelgel about it. He then kills the hero and unleashes darkness evil miasma all over the human continent of Lendersia. The hero's soul is saved by the Galapagod, who sends it to the Temple of Light, where it is offered a second chance by the gods of Astoltia.
The Hero can return to Tenton later during their adventure, but it is a smoldering wreck. Beginning with version 3.5 of the game, surviving villagers have set out to rebuild the town.
Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age edit
Tenton is the second location in the altar of the undeciphered in the Echo Chamber. The Luminary is sent to a time before the village's destruction, and is informed that the Galapogod has been kidnapped by monsters and taken to Baramos' Lair. Fortunately, Tenda had a vision of the Luminary's coming and informed the villagers to give him the Zoomingstone--a rock charged with the Zoom spell that will teleport the great Shelled One once he is found.
