Persistence is a plain village consisting of a few houses and horses protected by a large fence. There is no required reason to visit Persistence, but there are clues given within the village as to the whereabouts of the [[Bottomless pot]] and how to use the [[Echo Flute]]. Because the pot was stolen from the village by soldiers from [[Edina]] on a scouting expedition, the villagers are somewhat leery of travellers.

The people speak in short sentences and make a point to never lie, not seeing the purpose of falsehoods. A senior mentions the hermit living on the glacier to the far north and condemns him for using magic, implying the villagers are more suspicious of magic than other peoples. A talking horse with a green mane named Ed gives the player the clue to use the bottomless pot in the shoals in the ocean west of the village.

Persistence is now set within a forest clearing with a river running through it. The buildings are log cabins with animal hide tarps cast over the roofs, which are further decorated by painted banners and wooden carvings of predatory birds. The use of black, red, and white colours and strong outlines in these banners resembles the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formline_art formline art] utilized by several tribes long the North American pacific coast, and is also seen in the [[Fifer's Spire]].
One of the tribesman is a [[List of recruitable monsters in Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake|minidemon in disguise]], and requires [[Ra's mirror]] to be recruited.

==Etymolgy==
*The Japanese name for the village is ''Sū'', and this is how it was originally localized on the NES, as Soo. It is clearly meant to be a Native American village, but for unknown reasons, it was changed to a colonial village called Persistence in the more recent localizations.
