The | The [[Hero (Dragon Quest XI)|Hero]] can visit Aliahan through the [[Echo Chamber]]. He is taken to a time just before the marriage of Ortega and his fiance, and sees that several villagers have gathered in the woman's house to prevent the union. As it turns out, this is the work of a monster that was trying to prevent a legendary hero from being born and the party makes quick work of the nuisance. Additionally, the Luminary can get a [[Personality]]-altering book from Ortega's father, which can be used to alter [[Jessica]]'s mind at [[Chateau Felix]]. | ||
==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
Although most regions in the world of | Although most regions in the world of ''Dragon Quest III'' mimic real world locations, the continent of Aliahan does not. It's position in the ocean would approximate Australia, but this is already occupied by [[Lanson]], and the shape of Aliahan's landmass does not resemble the continent as well as the former. Due to Aliahan's history as a world-encompassing empire that has since fallen, a closer comparison would be the [[wikipedia:Mu (lost continent)|lost continent of Mu]], which is said to have be a colossal landmass in the south Pacific ocean. | ||
