Located on a small continent in the southeastern ocean, Aliahan is the land from which the {{Hero 3}} ventures forth into the wider world to save it from the fiend [[Baramos]]. Its kingdom includes the castle town of the same name near the southern bay, and the smaller town of [[Reeve]] in the northwest. | |||

Aliahan is alluded to by the inscription found on the inside of [[Erdrick's helm]]: | |||
{{quote|style=1|quote='''''May victory smile upon you, Great Hero of Aliahan'''''|source=|console=|align=center|bgcolor=ffffff}} | |||
==={{DQ2HD}}=== | |||
{{spoiler|start}} | |||
The [[Scions of Erdrick]] find the inscription in their ancestor's helmet and wonder what Aliahan could be. Much later after completing the game's true ending, accessible after receiving [[Erdrick's Supreme Sword]] and [[Erdrick's Supreme Shield|Supreme Shield]] from the [[Dragonlord's great-grandson]], [[Ramia]] takes the four Scions through a portal in the sky to Aliahan, the same portal their ancestor descended into [[Alefgard]] from eighteen generations prior. The four are confused by their whereabouts, with the [[Princess of Cannock]] assuming they are in the afterlife while the [[Princess of Moonbrooke]] notes that the kingdom feels very familiar to her. | |||
The group learns that the world above has been at peace for generations thanks to the efforts of two incredible heroes, and monsters have all but disappeared. [[Patty's Party Planning Place]] lies empty said for the blue-haired owner who humorously muses that peace is bad for business. She explains that the tavern was passed from daughter to daughter until it came to her, [[Patty]] the Eighteenth, and she plans on turning it into an extravagant inn that would become famous across the world. The well where [[Morgan Minimann]] set up shop has been boarded up, with an old man saying he heard tale of the eccentric rich man just up and vanishing one day. | |||
Upon entering the castle and speaking to the King, the 23rd of his line, the aged monarch assumes the group to be yet another bunch of travellers wanting to hear the legend of Aliahan's saviour. The Scions explain that they found the name of his kingdom inscribed on their ancestor's helm; upon inspecting it, the King recognizes it as the very same helm that Ortega's friends bequeathed him on the day of his departure so many centuries ago. He recognizes the four as none other than the descendants of Ortega and his son, and celebrates their arrival as the return of bloodline that saved the world. | |||
The four children marvel at the odyssey their family has experienced, and the King suggests they visit the home of their ancestor. The guard stationed in front of the home has received orders to stand down from his post, and he welcomes the group. Inside, the [[Prince of Midenhall]] sees a familiar-looking woman and speaks with her―the scene then cuts to a flashback of Erdrick speaking to his own mother, and she embraces him in a tight hug while welcoming him home. The screen whites out to the logo of the game, which then changes into the logo of ''Dragon Quest III HD'', bringing the saga of Erdrick to a close. | |||
All items purchased in Aliahan are saved to the player's inventory and retained when the file is loaded. | |||

Aliahan has been slightly redesigned, with the player being able to enter from the east, west, and southern gates. A nun has been placed near the western entrance for convenient saving, as the royalty of the world have passed that duty on to the clergy as in all post-{{Dragon Quest IV}} games. Patty's Party Planning Place has been given a revamped exterior with a curving glass awning for outdoor dining, and observant players will notice two homages to {{Dragon Quest XI}}: there is a world map of [[Erdrea]] hung in the northwest corner of the castle's first floor and the Hero's mother keeps a red and a green book similar to the ones found in the ending of the eleventh game. | |||

| Japanese | アリアハン |

| Game | Dragon Quest III |
Aliahan is a kingdom found in Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation.
Located on a small continent in the southeastern ocean, Aliahan is the land from which the Hero ventures forth into the wider world to save it from the fiend Baramos. Its kingdom includes the castle town of the same name near the southern bay, and the smaller town of Reeve in the northwest.
Interestingly, the continent serves as an excellent tutorial for new players to the series as it features a castle, two towns, two distinct dungeons, a tower, and enemies that provide different types of threats.
Appearances[edit]
Dragon Quest I HD-2D Remake[edit]
Aliahan is alluded to by the inscription found on the inside of Erdrick's helm:
"May victory smile upon you, Great Hero of Aliahan"
Dragon Quest II HD-2D Remake[edit]
Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation[edit]
The King of Aliahan
It is said that Aliahan once ruled over the whole world several centuries ago, but war broke out and the country's territory was reduced to the island continent seen in the game. In modern times Aliahan maintains peaceful relations with other nations under its wise king, but the teleportal to the mainland was sealed off. The player must break the seal with the Wrecking ball to reach Romaria and begin the adventure in earnest.
As the birthplace of Ortega, Aliahan has garnered a reputation as the home of heroes. The legacy of the incredible man has spread to nearly every corner of the world, and with it the reputation of Aliahan.
The Hero's home[edit]
The party can stay for free at the Hero's home at the behest of their mother. This room and board lasts until the death of Baramos.
Patty's Party Planning Place[edit]
Patty will give the player the ability to customize their party as they see fit at her bar in the northwestern section of the town. Pre-designed characters are ready for recruitment on the first floor, and further options can be requested on the second floor. Additionally, the bar is the location any victim of the Blasto spell is spirited away to.
Medal king[edit]
In the remakes of III, there is a shack at the bottom of the castle town's well where the medal king lives. He serves the same purpose as his contemporaries in other titles do, and his system uses the accumulation method of issuing rewards rather than using the medals as a currency to purchase items with.
Vault[edit]
In the NES version, the party had limited item slots due to hardware restraints and could store additional items here for a small fee upon retrieval. Gold could also be stored in 1,000 piece increments.
In the Super Famicom version onwards, the vault became only a gold bank, since the item storage was no longer necessary with the addition of the bag.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake[edit]
Aliahan has been slightly redesigned, with the player being able to enter from the east, west, and southern gates. A nun has been placed near the western entrance for convenient saving, as the royalty of the world have passed that duty on to the clergy as in all post-Dragon Quest IV games. Patty's Party Planning Place has been given a revamped exterior with a curving glass awning for outdoor dining, and observant players will notice two homages to Dragon Quest XI: there is a world map of Erdrea hung in the northwest corner of the castle's first floor and the Hero's mother keeps a red and a green book similar to the ones found in the ending of the eleventh game.

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age[edit]
The Hero can visit Aliahan through the Echo Chamber. He is taken to a time just before the marriage of Ortega and his fiance, and sees that several villagers have gathered in the woman's house to prevent the union. As it turns out, this is the work of a monster that was trying to prevent a legendary hero from being born and the party makes quick work of the nuisance. Additionally, the Luminary can get a Personality-altering book from Ortega's father, which can be used to alter Jessica Albert's mind at Chateau Felix.
Dragon Quest Tact[edit]
Majellan and Mindini find themselves in Aliahan at the end of Chapter 1, Episode 1 of the game's Dragon Quest III event. The duo encounter Patty, who is shocked to encounter friendly monsters, but she warms up to them quickly and invites them to her pub. Afterwards, she encourages them to speak to the townspeople to find a way for them to return to Orchesterra.
Trivia[edit]
Although most regions in the world of Dragon Quest III mimic real world locations, the continent of Aliahan does not. Its position in the ocean would approximate Australia, but this is already occupied by Lanson, and the shape of Aliahan's landmass does not resemble the continent as well as the former. Due to Aliahan's history as a world-encompassing empire that has since fallen, a closer comparison would be the lost continent of Mu, which is said to have be a colossal landmass in the south Pacific ocean.
