The Super Secret Faerie Village is a concealed community of the fair folk in Dragon Quest III.

It is located west of Norvik.

The village is represented by a shrub tile on the world map. It is a safe haven for Faeries and wildlife, who have retreated into the forest to avoid the encroachment of human civilization, and is ruled by a stern queen who forbids all contact with outsiders. Regardless of this decree, the queen's very own daughter has recently run away with a young man, causing grave repercussions for the village of Norvik...

Appearances[edit]

Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation[edit]

The Faerie settlement is a forested glen with trees so tall the foliage obscures part of the screen, and the buildings are made from stumps. The village's existence is told to the Hero by the single waking person in Norvik, the old man standing before the house in the southwest end of town. He begs the party to return the precious dreamstone to the Faeries, or the villagers will be cursed to sleep forever.

Upon entering the village, the Faeries are terrified of the party once they realize the group is human, and the Queen refuses the lift the curse she placed on Norvik. She explains that her daughter, Aniseed, had fallen in love with a man and took the dreamstone with her as the two fled. The Queen assumes that the man tricked Aniseed and stole the stone from her, leaving her too embarrassed to return home. The Queen then states that just looking at humans makes her sick, and to be gone from her sight. The father of the man is present in the village, but not even he can make the Queen see that what she's done is wrong.

After retrieving the dreamstone from the nearby Underground Lake, the Hero learns the sad truth: Aniseed and her lover could not stand the strife their love caused, and chose to end their lives together in the subterranean waters. Aniseed's final words were inscribed in the treasure chest holding the stone:

":Dear mother,

I hope you can forgive me.

But if faeries and humans can't be together in

this world...

'Then we have no choice but to go together to

the next. All my love

Aniseed'"

—Dreamstone letter (Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation) (Cell phone)

Upon hearing these words, the Queen is aghast at herself for driving her daughter to suicide, and gives the party the Wakey Dust needed to end the curse on Norvik. The Queen is grateful to the Hero for revealing the truth behind Aniseed's disappearance, but refuses to change her views on humans and asks them to leave. When speaking to the after of Aniseed's lover, the old man breaks down and wonders what he will tell his wife.

Treasures[edit]

Item Shop[edit]

The village is home to a prejudiced item shop which will only sell items to Elves, Dwarves, and other non-humans. As a result, it cannot be used unless the party possess a Mod Rod and changes into a suitable disguise.

Item shop

Item	Price	Attributes
Angel's robe	3,000	+35
Prayer ring	2,500	?
Morning star	1,700	+30
Snooze stick	4,200	+30
Golden tiara	5,000	13 Luck
Being A Better Person	90	Changes personality to Good egg

Remake changes[edit]

In the original game and Cell phone, only one Mod Rod is available and must be used to receive the Sailors Thighbone. In the other remakes, more can be found randomly by playing Treasures n' Trapdoors.
In the original game, you could only buy items from the shop if you're in the form of a Dwarf. In the remake, you can also buy items if you take the form of a Slime.

Nearby monsters[edit]

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake[edit]

The hidden village is now deep within the forest, so much so that light cannot penetrate the foliage. Instead the faeries have filled their home with bioluminescent plants and fungi, give the village a genuine fairy-tale atmosphere. The faeries dwell within trees, illuminated through narrow windows, with the Queen residing in the base of a colossal tree.

The same types of plant-based lamps can be found in the Underground Lake, along with several Faerie statues that surround the chest containing the dreamstone.

Shops & services[edit]
