It serves a critical part in the plot of {{Dragon Quest II}} when it is sacked by [[Hargon]]'s forces in the prelude, being the castle nearest to the frozen wasteland of [[Rendarak]] that the mad cultist lurks in. | |||

The opening cinematic of {{Dragon Quest II}} witnesses the attack on Moonbrooke and the death of its king. This event sets up the quest for the rest of the game. | |||
During the game, Moonbrooke can be explored as a burned out ruin which then houses monsters. It is not required that the player visit in order to complete the game, however, useful information can be gained regarding how to find the [[Princess of Moonbrooke]] by speaking to the various ghosts of its citizens. If the player brings the princess and speaks to the ghost of her father, special dialogue will play. | |||

In the game's opening Moonbrooke is shown to be the most-recently founded of the three kingdoms, and became a hub for the magical arts with conjurers travelling from the world over to practice their craft within its walls. The layout of the castle was built around a circular, walled garden where the Princess's magical training took place. The throne room was illuminated by colossal stained glass windows bearing Erdrick's phoenix emblem, and next to it was a museum housing replicas of the fabled ancestor's paraphernalia. Outside the castle's wall were the guard's training grounds, with the lookout post built into a treehouse. | |||
The siege of Moonbrooke is led by none other than the [[Deities of Destruction|Deity of Destruction]] [[Belial]], accompanied by the [[lumpfather]] as his subordinate. The [[King of Moonbrooke]] fends off a pair of [[gargoyle]]s as in previous versions of the game, but now a second wave appears with the leader identifying their targets by name. After dispatching flight of gargoyles the King is mortified to realize the monsters recognize his daughter and he takes her to the castle basement where he casts a spell to turn her into a dog in the hopes that the monsters will ignore her. | |||
[[ | |||
When the [[Prince of Midenhall]] and the [[Prince of Cannock]] explore the ruins of the castle, the ghost of the King is seen in human form instead of the fiery spirits the citizens of the kingdom became upon being murdered. The duo are led to the courtyard by a mysterious sound where they spot a blue rose that survived the siege, and are contacted by the spirit of the Queen of Moonbrooke. Her disembodied voice urges them to venture to the [[Swamp Shrine]] east of the kingdom, tipping the player off to the existence of [[Ra's mirror]]. | |||
== | Returning when the Princess has joined the party leads to a cutscene where she attempts to retrieve the [[Mark of Moonbrooke]] from its hiding place behind a portrait, only to find that it was stolen by the monsters during their raid. The scene then reveals that the [[Chancellor of Moonbrooke]] and a pair of guards survived by being sent out to [[Rippleport]] to the north a few days before Belial launched his attack. The trio were unable to cross the strait between the [[Dragon's Horn]] towers, and advise the party to seek out the [[windbraker]] cloak the King had stored within the [[Pillar of Winds]] to the southeast. The Chancellor then gives the Princess the [[thief's key]] to aid group on their quest and swears to restore the fallen kingdom. | ||
{{ | |||
Should the player return after obtaining the [[Eye of Rubiss]], the Chancellor has begun to make good on his word and guards have been dispatched from [[Midenhall]] and [[Cannock]] to aid in the restoration. The large force has driven off the monsters lurking in the ruins and the music track that plays has switched back to the proper castle theme. During the game's finale, the restoration has made great progress and fetid swamps that encircled the castle have been cleared. Other survivors who were away from Moonbrooke during the siege have returned, and as the party departs the spirits of the King and Queen materialize to see their daughter off. | |||
