Tantegel

Tantegel, or Radatome (ラーダトメ) in the original Japanese, and English GBC versions. is a castle and nearby castle town in central Alefgard. It is featured in the first 3 Dragon Quest games. In the original Dragon Quest, the town surrounding Tantegel castle is called Brecconary in the NES version, but is called Radatome just like it's surrounding castle in the original Japanese, and English GBC versions. One reason the town may have been given a different name in the NES version, is because the localizers may have thought that it would be odd to call it the same name as its castle, as it is entirely separate from the castle on the world map. However, in Dragon Quest 2 and 3, Tantegel is composed of both combined locations. Tantegel is the only castle in the entire area and generally has right of rule over all of Alefgard.

Synopsis

Dragon Quest

In the original Dragon Quest, Tantegel is a location of central importance for many reasons.

• It is the starting location for the hero of the game.
• It is the only location where the player can save the game.
• It is the only castle in Alefgard that has a reigning king.
• It is the largest city (castle and town combined) in the game.
• It contains one of the essential items to complete the game (Stones of Sunlight).

Dragon Quest II

In Dragon Quest II, Tantegel is much less important. The king is hiding out of fear of Hargon and no major items/information are located there.

Dragon Quest III

Tantegel is the location of central importance in the 'dark world' of Alefgard in Dragon Quest III similar to Dragon Quest. It contains the essential Stones of Sunlight item in this game as well.
