The Ravaged Realm

The Ravaged Realm, also known as Cantlin Plains, is the first area player explore in Dragon Quest Builders. It is the ruins of the former fortress of Cantlin, having been overgrown with saplings and debris in the century since the first game took place. This area is where the base for Chapter 1 is located.

Overview

 
The town's starting look, from the top.

The landscape is a tutorial area that is specifically designed to get players accustomed to the flow of the game. Specifically, the nature of building, the passing of time, and the hunger meter are addressed directly once work on the base has begun. Combating monsters, as well as fighting off raids, will also be covered.

This island has vast plains around the town and in the southwest area, some forest areas, mountains across the whole island, and a swamp area in the southern part. In the plains and forest areas, some puddles can be found.

The town is almost barren when the player first arrives, but some structures remain. One of the first quests is finishing a room in the northwest for Pippa, the first npc to join the village.

The main building resource in this chapter will be stone and minerals, with many recipes requiring either. Despite this fact, the Ravaged Realm doesn't have many rocky resources, needing to import them from the other parts of the Cantlin region, like Hammerhood Heights.

Villagers

Pippa Pippa joins the base immediately after the player places the Banner of Hope. She offers a number of quests, but avoids battle. She is the first person the player meets.
Rollo Rollo is found under a rock some monsters stuck on top of him. A bombastic buffoon, he is a man of endless enthusiasm who encourages the builder with information he gleams from an old tomb called the Cantlin Chronicle.
Larouche Larouche appears at the base once the player acquires the blue teleportal. Larouche doesn’t engage in combat, but does provide quests that improve the base.
