{{Dragon Quest}} tells the story of a [[Hero (Dragon Quest)|descendant of Erdrick]] being summoned by [[King Lorik]] of Tantegel to defeat a new evil foe who has plunged Alefgard into chaos, the [[Dragonlord]]. The [[Hero (Dragon Quest)|new Hero]] follows in his fore-bearer's footsteps and must regain their [[Erdrick Equipment|equipment]] in order to defeat the Dragonlord, rescue the kidnapped [[Princess Gwaelin]], and retrieve the stolen [[Sphere of Light]]. Upon his victory, the Hero and Princess Gwaelin leave Alefgard to explore the wider world and found new kingdoms on foreign shores. The amount of time between {{Dragon Quest III}} and {{Dragon Quest}} is left up to the player's imagination, though it is implied to take place approximately sixteen generations later through King Lorik XVI's status as the sixteenth descendant of the original king of Alefgard. | {{Dragon Quest}} tells the story of a [[Hero (Dragon Quest)|descendant of Erdrick]] being summoned by [[King Lorik]] of Tantegel to defeat a new evil foe who has plunged Alefgard into chaos, the [[Dragonlord]].

{{Dragon Quest II}} takes place a century later and begins with a demonic siege on the kingdom of [[Moonbrooke]], one of many kingdoms founded by the hero of {{Dragon Quest}}, by the mad priest [[Hargon]] and his [[Children of Hargon|apocalyptic cult]]. In response, the {{Prince of Midenhall}} is sent by his father to join forces with his cousins to stomp out the mad man's ambitions. The Prince of Midenhall, the [[Prince of Cannock]], the [[Princess of Moonbrooke]], and in the HD-2D remake the [[Princess of Cannock]], travel together throughout the greater world surrounding Alefgard, saving villages and towns from the cult's invasions before attacking the heart of evil in the frozen plateau of [[Rendarak]]. | {{Dragon Quest II}} takes place a century later and begins with a demonic siege on the kingdom of [[Moonbrooke]], one of many kingdoms founded by the hero of {{Dragon Quest}}, by the mad priest [[Hargon]] and his [[Children of Hargon|apocalyptic cult]].

The HD-2D version of the game confirms the trilogy's span of time suggested by King Lorik's proper title in the secret ending, where a descendant of an important character states she is the eighteenth of her line. | ||
