Several years before the beginning of the game, a young man from Norvik had fallen in love with the daughter of the [[Queen of Faeries]], Aniseed. Though the maiden reciprocated his affection, their love was scorned by the faerie law and the two fled together. The Queen loathed humans, and assumed that the young man kidnapped her daughter--in her fury, she placed a curse upon the village that sent the townsfolk into a permanent slumber save for the man's father and an elderly man. | Several years before the beginning of the game, a young man from Norvik had fallen in love with the daughter of the [[Queen of Faeries]], Aniseed.

The Queen loathed humans, and assumed that the young man kidnapped her daughter--in her fury, she placed a curse upon the village that sent the townsfolk into a permanent slumber save for the man's father and an elderly man whom were both outside of the village at the time. It is unknown exactly how long the village slept, but a woman in the church of [[Romaria]] frets that she has not received any letters from her relatives in Norvik for many years. | ||
The lad's father pleads with the Queen to lift the curse, as the villagers knew nothing of the affair and that his son would never kidnap a faerie, while the old man remains behind and explains the situation to the [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|Hero]]. The curse is lifted by returning the [[Dreamstone]] from the [[Underground Lake]] to the Queen. The Hero also passes along the final words Aniseed left behind, explaining that the couple chose to end their lives together in the underground lake rather than be separated. The Queen is distraught that she unwittingly brought her daughter to suicide, and gives the party the [[Wakey Dust]] to end her curse. | The lad's father pleads with the Queen to lift the curse, as the villagers knew nothing of the affair and that his son would never kidnap a faerie, while the old man remains behind and explains the situation to the [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|Hero]].
