The Pillar of Sulkk (originally DarkDraco's Palace) is a tower in Dragon Quest VII. It is located to the west of the town of Nottagen.

Story

Past

In the past, the town of Nottagen has been taken over by the monstrous servants of the Demon King. The monsters then construct a tower on the western part of the island, which becomes home to a fearsome black dragon known as Sulkk. Due to the dragon's presence, the island has become enveloped in darkness. The only way to enter the tower is by obtaining the Sulkk key, which is locked away in the mayor's house. When the party first arrives on the island and journeys to Nottagen, they are attacked by monsters guarding the town and preventing anyone from visiting. They make quick work of the guards and venture to the mayor's house, where the monster Moostapha and his underlings have made their base. After being defeated, Moostapha gloats to the humans that as long as Sulkk remains in the tower, the island will remain in darkness. The few remaining monsters flee the town and the party is able to retrieve the Sulkk key. As soon as Nottagen's mayor returns to his home and the adventurers leave for the tower, they hear the dreadful and ominous roar of Sulkk itself.

With the key in hand, the party is free to enter the tower. Their presence startles a lone forky pig guarding the entrance, who challenges the party to a battle but is quickly defeated. The way to the top of the tower is filled with various traps and puzzles meant to prevent anyone from reaching it. Once they reach the top, the party finds Sulkk itself and a pair of unfortunate babygoyles tasked with watching over the dreaded dragon. The dragon has begun to roar nonstop since Moostapha was the only one capable of keeping it under control, making the two babygoyles fear for their lives as it will soon begin to rampage across the island. The party defeats them as well, but in a last ditch effort to stop the humans, the monsters egg on Sulkk and taunt it into attacking the party. After a grueling battle, the dragon is defeated and light returns to the island. However, the adventurers soon have to find themselves back in Nottagen as the matter with the dragon was just the start of their problems.

Present

The party is able to visit the Pillar in the present as soon as the dragon Sulkk is defeated in the past. It is still filled with monsters and dangerous traps. At the top of the tower where Sulkk used to reside, the party finds a Mysterious Fragment, which becomes important as it is one of the pieces necessary for visiting the Divine Shrine.
