'''Leiamland''' is an island in the [[Overworld (Dragon Quest III)|overworld]] of {{Dragon Quest III}}.
 
It is located south of [[Theddon]], east of [[Lanson]], and is meant to represent Antarctica in the real world, although it is not of a relative size. 
 
 
==Appearances==
==={{DQ3}}===
The shrine of Leiamland is the nest of the egg of [[Ramia]], guarded by twin girls who speak in unison and beseech the {{Hero 3}} to gather the [[Six Orbs]] to hatch the Everbird. The twins will also keep track of the number of orbs that have been gathered, but are unable give hints as to their locations.
 
Leiamland  is first alluded to by the prisoner in [[Theddon]], who tells the {{Hero 3}} to gather the orbs and travel to the southernmost continent.
 
====Remake changes====
In the {{GBC}} version, the spot that was occupied by [[Ramia]] will become a portal to the [[Ice Cave]], a second [[bonus dungeon]].  The entrance, will become available after making a wish to [[Xenlon]].
 
====Treasure (remakes only)====
*[[Mini medal]]
 
====Nearby {{MFamilies}}s====
*[[Boreal serpent]]
*[[Firn fiend]]
*[[Hades' Condor]]
*[[Ursa minor]]
 
==={{DQStars}}===
The shrine appears as a smaller structure resembling mushroom in the game, but otherwise serves the same purpose as in its original appearance. The twin maidens have been illustrated for the first time, wearing golden tiaras that curve upwards into twin prongs, golden gowns, and blue necklaces made of large spheres.
 
==Etymology==
*The Japanese name, ''Reiamurando'', is derived from [[wikipedia:Graham Land|Graham Land]], the British name for the largest peninsula on the Antarctic continent.
:*The localization name of ''Leiamland'' and it's predecessor are the result of the translation team not picking up on the geographic reference through the Japanese script's use of a homophone (--raham and reiam-- are pronounced the same), and as such [[wikipedia:Perception of English /r/ and /l/ by Japanese speakers|assumed the first letter should have been an L instead of an R]].
 
==Trivia==
*Leiamland is never actually mentioned by name in the [[Square Enix]] script, with fans only discovering the difference by looking at the files of the [[Cell phone]] version. Casting [[Storeyteller]] will reveal nothing when used in the shrine.
**Potentially as a result, the quest bearing its name in {{Tact}}'s "True Dragon Quest III" event is still referred to as "Liamland".
*Twins girls speaking in harmony and protecting a massive egg is an allusion to the 1961 tokusatsu film ''[[wikipedia:Mothra (film)|Mothra]]'', with [[Ramia]]'s egg even bearing the same markings as the eponymous insect.
