'''Romaria''' | '''Romaria''' is a kingdom of {{Dragon Quest III}}. | ||
It is a roman-esque kingdom visited early in the game, being the first settlement players see after exiting the [[Shrine of Promise]]. | |||
It is the first "mainland" location visited in the game, as well as the series' introduction to [[Monster Arena]]s where the player can gamble on enemy monster battles. The Romarans are familiar with [[Aliahan]] with a child identifying the {{Hero 3}} nationality from to their clothes. | |||

| | Romaria is a peaceful kingdom, though the people whisper about the rumors of an [[Baramos|Archfiend]] threatening to conquer the world and even the guards blanche at the recent rise in the {{MFamilies}} population. The people put their faith in il Re, their [[King of Romaria|King]], to protect them but the man's father bemoans his son's habit of slacking off and retreating to the [[Monster Arena]] to gamble instead of focusing on serving his subjects. The Queen is a more serious ruler, and tries to keep her husband's antics in check. She is curious about the Kingdom of [[Aliahan]], and asks the {{Hero 3}} if the people's hearts are as beautiful as her couriers describe the land. | ||
=== | |||
Romaria is the focal point of the [[King's crown]] sidequest. Upon first arrival, the [[King of Romaria]] will request that the {{Hero 3}} and {{Party 3}} retrieve his stolen crown from a group of bandits that have taken shelter in the far-off [[Skyfell Tower]]. These bandits are [[Robbin' 'Ood]] and his henchmen; thugs who collectively act as the first boss in the game. By defeating the bandits, the {{Hero 3}} and {{Party 3}} can return the crown to the [[King of Romaria|King]] or use it as a helmet for their own. If returned, the [[King of Romaria|King]] will abdicate the throne in the {{Hero 3}}'s favour. | |||
The player is allowed to explore the town and speak with the citizens as [[King of Romaria|King]] (or Queen), garnering unique dialogue not seen elsewhere in the game--an old woman requests that the {{Hero 3}} order the guards to weed the garden meant to honor the memory of the late Queen, and the woman in the [[church]] beseeches the salvation of her family in [[Norvik]], for example. The {{Hero 3}} is prevented by guards from leaving the kingdom's walls out of concerns for safety, so in order to continue the quest the {{Hero 3}} must speak with the former [[King of Romaria|King]] in the [[Monster Arena]] and remind him of his duty as a [[King of Romaria|King]]. | |||
To the west of the kingdom is the [[Romarian Outpost]], a two-building checkpoint built to provide faster travel into the kingdom of [[Portoga]] for those who do not own their own [[ship]]s. Unfortunately, the [[Magic Key]] is required to open the door. | |||

Romaria is a more lavish kingdom in the HD version, featuring impressive architecture and a beautifully-ornamented fountain. Interestingly, the fountain depicts what appear to be the {{Faeries}} from the northern reaches of the continent. A [[List of recruitable monsters in Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake|spiked hare]] can be found here at night, but the rabbit's ears will detect the player unless the {{Party 3}} is [[Padfoot|tip-toeing]]. | |||
The [[King of Romaria|King]] takes the theft of his crown more seriously in this iteration, setting up a check point on the [[Romarian road]] and closing down the [[Romarian outpost]] until [[Robbin' 'Ood]] has been brought to justice. Humorously the Queen is the final contender in the [[Monster Arena (Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake)|Monster Arena]], meaning the whole royal family likes to slack off instead of attending to official business. One must wonder if the reason the [[King of Romaria|King]] shirked his duties was to watch his wife in action. | |||

== | ==Etymology== | ||
*The names ''Romaly'' and ''Romaria'' derive from the city of Rome in real world Italy. Romaria is located in the same corresponding location on the world map in {{Dragon Quest III}}. | |||
==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
*If playing as the female {{Hero 3}}, and thus becoming Queen, the [[inn]]keeper will let the player rest at the [[inn]] for free and a scene will play out of the [[inn]]keeper scrambling to dress up the room and make it fit for royalty. This can only be seen once, as the [[inn]]keeper will state that in all his twenty years of business he has never felt prouder when spoken to again. | |||
*If playing as the female | *The house and [[church]] in town are used in a village during the [[Dream Scenario#Monster Scenario|Monster Scenario]] at the beginning. | ||
*Romaria castle's HD design bears a faint resemble to [[Trodain]] Castle. | |||
