Appearances[edit]

Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line[edit]

At the beginning of the game, 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 from the insane cultist.

Often thought to be the most powerful kingdom due to the wounded soldier from Moonbrooke going to Midenhall instead of Cannock, which is much closer.

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.

Much later on in the game, The Hall of Hargon will take the form of Midenhall when first entered. The NPCs speak as if the kindly priest Hargon has made peace with the nation, swaying them to his cult and imploring the three cousins to do the same. In order to dispel the illusion and put an end to the madness, the player must use the Eye of Rubiss.

Teleportal[edit]

Middenhall houses the first Teleportal in the series, transporting the player to a small island just next to Zahan. The area is too small for the player to explore, and is just a teaser hinting at the scope of the adventure.
