Cantlin: Difference between revisions

'''Cantlin''' is a walled city located in the south central region of [[Alefgard]]. Cantlin is most famous for it's heavy fortifications and for being guarded by a [[golem]] in the original game. It was recently featured in ''[[Dragon Quest Builders]]'' as the starting city, followed by [[Rimuldar]].

The city of Cantlin is typically the last city the player visits due to it's distance from [[Tantegel]] and the strength of the surrounding monsters. When first approached, the city is guarded by a [[golem]] whose battle is triggered when the hero first attempts to enter the ramparts surrounding the city. This battle is a one time event, and is the only place where a golem can be encountered. The weapons and armor shop in Cantlin sells the best equipment the character can purchase in the game.

===''[[Dragon Quest III]]''===

The people of Catnlin have given into despair due to [[Zoma]]'s tyranny, with the shops being left unattended and the merchants languishing in the streets. A family above the unmanaged inn despair as their child is slowly succumbing to his misery of living in such a world, and even withdraws his plea to the [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|Hero]] to slay the archfiend out of hopelessness.  The man in the next room over researches the technique to build an artificial guardian for the town, but with the people seeing the futility in even tending the fields it is a wasted effort. The only person not depressed is [[Galen]] the bard, who traveled to the town after a falling out with his parents.

 

A [[Monster Arena]] lies beneath the town, where some citizens go to project themselves into the life and death struggles of the monsters to feel alive. It's just a distraction from the somber reality that surrounds them, and the only one to not dupe themselves into the false furor is a little girl looking for her father.  

The elder of Cantlin will instruct the player to travel to the [[Sanctum]] after acquiring the [[Sunstone]], [[Staff of Rain]], and [[Sacred Amulet]]. This will open the way to [[Zoma's Citadel]].

After the devil is defeated, the people of Cantlin will find new meaning in life and beseech the hero as their savior, with the languishing child becoming active again and the researching tossing away his notes for future generations to pick up instead now that the town no longer needs a guardian.
