It is accessible only near the end of each game and contains the final dungeon and boss for each. It has its own world map which is typically much darker (and smaller) than the normal world map, providing habitation for ferocious monsters and freakishly bizarre flora. | |||
Its counterpart is [[Zenithia]], a castle in the sky that watches over the world of mortals. | Its counterpart is [[Zenithia]], a castle in the sky that watches over the world of mortals. | ||

Nadiria lies beneath the [[Central Island]]. Access is granted through a [[Cave to Nadiria|cave]] said to lead to the abyss.

Nadiria lies beyond the [[Estuary Sanctuary]], normally sealed from the world. The [[Nimzo|Grandmaster of the Underworld]] has been steadily trying to extend his influence beyond Nadiria. The underworld consists of wild tropical jungles and treacherous canyons underneath a churning, dark purple sky. Locales within this realm include a town called [[Precaria]] that houses reformed monsters, as well as a T'n'T board and [[Mt. Zugzwang]]. | Nadiria lies beyond the [[Estuary Sanctuary]], normally sealed from the world.

Nadiria is where the bulk of the game takes place, being a cluster of disconnected regions divided into the [[Circle of Conquest]], the [[Circle of Temper]], the [[Circle of Indulgence]], the [[Circle of Caprice]], and the [[Circle of Fortitude]]. These circles are in turn split into three echelons of lowest, middle, and highest order with the power of the resident monster matching the station. The tyrant [[Randolfo]] rules the underworld with an iron fist from the upper echelon of the Circle of Conquest, marking it as the final destination for {{Psaro C}}. | |||
Of note is that the upper echelon of the Circle of Conquest is based on the map of Nadiria seen in ''Dragon Quest IV'', with the [[Hopeful Haven]] and [[Conqueror's Keep]] taking the place of [[Heaven's Haven]] and [[Castle Nadiria]] respectively. Much like in the original game, Randolfo's macabre palace is protected by a barrier maintained by his four subordinates within the four dens on the outer edges of the echelon. | |||
