Weaver's Peak

From Dragon Quest Wiki

Weaver's Peak is a mountain village in Dragon Quest VI.

It is the starting location of the game and home of the Hero and his sister Tania.

Characteristics[edit]

Set high in the mountains north of Haggleton and Somnia beyond the Mountain Pass, this rural village is known for its crafts and textiles that fetch a high price at a bazaar annually hosted in the former. The Hero is appointed as the annual village representative at the start of the game, and is sent off to sell the goods and return with a ceremonial crown assembled by the finest artisan in Haggleton.

A ceremony known as the Fortune Festival is held on the first eve of the bazaar, thanking the Spirit of the Mountains for good harvests through the year prior. During the festival one young lady is selected to represent the village's gratitude, placing the crown on the Goddess statue inside the church. Tania is selected as this year's maiden, and during the ceremony she becomes possessed by the Spirit of the Mountains. The Spirit speaks directly to the Hero, beckoning him to leave his idyllic home and enter the dangerous world at large, saving it from the evils that conspire to end it.

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age[edit]

The Upper World version of Weaver's Peak is the final location the Luminary can visit through the altar of reverie in the Echo Chamber. A commotion has spread through the village as the Hero returns from his errand to fetch the crown for the Fortune Festival, but his condescending attitude and fixation on gaudy fashion cause Tania to suspect that the man is an imposter. Asking the Luminary for help, she advises that the adventurers at Patty's Party Planning Place in Stornway might have a few leads to follow through on.

Sure enough, a warrior at the Quester's Rest knows just the thing to do the job--bodura grass. The man states that a friend of his tipped him off to a grotto that grows the herb, the third floor of the Ruby Path of Doom available to players as the second area in the alter of the starry skies. In the north-western corner of the third floor is a woman who will give the player the bodura grass free of charge.

Returning to Weaver's Peak, Tania is overjoyed that the party found a way to expose the fraud and sends them to do just that, worried about retaliation if a frail girl such as herself ruins the facade. Tossing the grass in the liar's face exposes him as a dumpy troll, prompting a battle once it is spoken to. After the fight is over, the sobbing sop admits that all it ever wanted was to look nice enough for Tania to be kind towards it, and promises that it will never do anything to the village again. The troll flees the scene, and Tania is left shaking her head at the whole mess before rewarding the Luminary with a bolt of kaleidoscope cloth for his trouble.
