Editing Tantegel

{{DQDE2DQW}}

'''Tantegel''', or Ladatorme/Radatome (ラーダトメ) in the original Japanese version, is a castle and nearby town in central [[Alefgard]]. It is featured in the first 3 Dragon Quest games as part of the [[Erdrick Trilogy]]. In the original Famicom release of [[Dragon Quest]], the town surrounding the castle is called the same name as the castle, Ladatorme (or Radatome, as it is sometimes romanized). When the game was localized, and released overseas, however, they desided to give the castle and town different names ('''Tantegel''' and '''Brecconary '''respectively). In all other releases of Dragon Quest, Japanese or English, both town and castle have been called Tantegel.  

==Synopsis==
===Dragon Quest===
In the original Dragon Quest, Tantegel is a location of central importance for many reasons.
* It is the starting location for the hero of the game.
* It is the only location where the player can save the game.
* It is the only castle in Alefgard that has a reigning king.
* It is the largest city (castle and town combined) in the game.
* It contains one of the essential items to complete the game ([[Stones of Sunlight]]).
===Dragon Quest II===
In Dragon Quest II, Tantegel is much less important. The king is hiding out of fear of [[Hargon]] and no major items/information are located there.
===Dragon Quest III===
Tantegel is the location of central importance in the 'dark world' of Alefgard in Dragon Quest III similar to Dragon Quest. It contains the essential Stones of Sunlight item in this game as well.

==Trivia==
* One reason the town may have been given a different name in the NES version, is because the localizers may have thought that it would be odd to call it the same name as its castle, as it is entirely separate from the castle on the world map. However, in Dragon Quest II and III, Tantegel is composed of both combined locations.
