Dirkandor has been expanded into a proper kingdom, with the castle town sheltered by ramparts rivaling those of [[Cantlin]]. The kingdom places an immense value on physical fitness and martial prowess, with even the granny sitting on the church pews boasting of her strict regimen and reputation as the "Iron Tigress". As one of the kingdom guards explains, one's might takes priority over birth-status and the King hire anyone sufficiently great into his soldiery regardless of being a peasant or aristocrat.
The teleportal in the ramparts now connects to the [[Shrine of Flames]], but players cannot enter the castle or town as the door is sealed and requires the [[magic key]] to unlock. Players also cannot enter the castle through the gate unless the [[faded blade]] has been obtained, with the guards demanding the [[Scions of Erdrick]] prove their might before being allowed entry, but even then the children will not be seen by the King unless they possess the [[priest's missive]]. This letter of recommendation is granted by the [[Aged Priest]] of [[Beran]], and effectively means the plot involving Dirkandor cannot be advanced until the [[Princess of Cannock]] joins her family on the adventure. The castle itself resembles a fortress, with scant few windows and large braziers providing light.
Upon speaking to the King he alludes to the impostor [[Princess of Moonbrooke]] creeping from kingdom to kingdom but boasts that his vast information network has assured him the genuine article stands before him. he also confirms that he possesses one of the [[five sigils]], but the quartet must test their might in a series of battles before he will give it to them―his logic is founded on the grounds that if they cannot defeat his pit beasts then they will stand no chance against [[Hargon]] himself, and the sigil would be safer in his kingdom. Notably, the King mentions the Aged Priest of Beran when throwing down the gauntlet; the Princess of Moonbrooke presses him on his connection to the mysterious old man, but the King quickly makes up a flimsy cover.
The three fights are against a trio of [[hades' condor]]s, a pair of [[smackanape]]s, and the infamous [[striking sabrecat]]. Upon defeating the apes a humorous scene will play out where the King of Dirkandor congratulates the heroes on their progress, which causes the Princess of Cannock to erupt with excitement as the challenge is among the first boss battles she will have faced since joining the party. Once the battle cat is bested the King congratulates the four young heroes by stating their victory was worn through their own might and not just by the blood of their storied ancestor, and gives them the [[moon sigil]]. The holy relic allows spells cast by the Scions to go [[haywire]], greatly increasing their attack power, healing power, and the chance to debilitate foes. Before the group departs the King warns them that his information network has told him grim tales of Hargon's own might, especially his ability to rob his enemies of their senses through his cunning illusions.
Players have the option of returning to speak to the King before obtaining the [[water sigil]] to get a clue to its whereabouts, but the Scions are obliged to return once the [[moonshard]] is obtained in order to track down a way into Hargon's realm of [[Rendarak]]. The King will put the children to his ultimate test and face them himself in battle, and once they prove victorious he will inform them that the secret of entering the frozen plateau of Rendarak lay with the Aged Priest of Beran.
Dirkandor is also home to a [[Fortune Teller]] who will provide players with hints regarding the happenings taking place in Cantlin, the [[Deserted Village]], & [[Slewse]], providing perspective on these events from that of the commoners not related to the game's story. The old soothsayer also warns of the dangerous Lords of the Sea, [[Abysmerelda]] and [[Helliphantes]]. Players are also given a direct hint to the whereabouts of the [[tectonic plate]] courtesy of the swordsman in the weapon shop.


The King of Dirkandor now has the Scions fight three battles in the colosseum instead of just the one against the sabercat. Much later, the King himself challenges the Scions to a duel. If you win, he will tell you something about the Priest in Burrowell, who will open the door to the portal leading to the [[Passage to Rendarak]].
