Erdrick: Difference between revisions

In ''[[Dragon Warrior III]]'', the hero, who may be either male or female, departs from  [[Aliahan]] in order to follow in the footsteps of the brave warrior [[Ortega (Dragon Quest)|Ortega]], the hero's father, by defeating the [[archfiend]] [[Baramos]].  After accomplishing that, the hero returns victorious to [[Aliahan]] only to be confronted by a new nemesis, [[Zoma]].  Taking up a new quest to defeat [[Zoma]], the hero travels through [[the Great Pit of Giaga]] to [[Alefgard]], which is sealed in darkness.  At the end of ''[[Dragon Warrior III]]'', the King of [[Alefgard]] bestows upon the hero '''''The Order of Erdrick''''', the country’s highest honor reserved only for true heroes.  This implies ''Erdrick'' is a title rather than the hero's actual name.

Attempting to name the hero "Erdrick" in ''Dragon Warrior III'' for the NES will generate a message requesting the player to enter their real name; however, if a space is added at the end, the warning message will not be displayed and the game may be played with the hero being named "Erdrick ".
