AppearancesEdit

Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary LineEdit

Cannock is home to the Prince of Cannock, one of the main protagonists in Dragon Quest II, as well as the Princess of Cannock. The Prince of this castle joins forces with the Prince of Midenhall to combat the forces of the evil sorcerer Hargon after the play endures a humorous and length journey to actually find the youth.

Cannock is typically the third location visited in Dragon Quest II. Hoping to find the Prince of Cannock, the Prince of Midenhall speaks with the King only to learn that the Prince has headed east to the Wellspring of the Hero. Cannock cannot be skipped as it is required to have the Prince of Cannock in the player's party before proceeding in the game. The Prince of Cannock cannot be located and recruited without first speaking with the King.

Cannock's national emblem

The kingdom has been redesigned slightly to emphasis its location in a deep forest, and is also built on top of a hill with the surrounding houses built at different elevations. The castle interior is much more opulent than before with emerald walls, soapstone floors, and towering green columns lined with metal lattice bringing the forest into the royal dwelling. The Princess's room has been expanded with a matching bed to house both siblings now, and a second floor has been added for the King and Queen of Cannock.

As in previous versions of the game Cannock is marked as the first destination for the Prince of Midenhall to join with his cousin, but now the Princess of Cannock insists on sneaking out of the castle without her parents' knowledge to aid in finding her dawdling brother. The youngest member of the Scions of Erdrick tags along as an AI-controlled party member under her brother is found in Leftwyne.

Later, once the Princess of Moonbrooke is restored to human form and joins the quest, the party will reconvene at Castle Cannock to assess the situation regarding Hargon's plot. The player is fully informed of the fabled sigils and the King gives his son the Mark of Cannock. Much later when the Prince is cursed by the Brute Bat in the floating city of Beran, the Prince of Midenhall and Princess of Moonbrooke return to inform his parents of what has befallen their son. The Queen suggests that a leaf of the World Tree may cure her son, but the King laments that the location of the tree was known only to the royal family of Rendarak before Hargon destroyed the kingdom decades prior. The King and Queen resign themselves to sending royal guards to keep watch over their son and relay any changes in his condition, but the Princess of Cannock slips away to Beran to scour for any information regarding the World Tree. After the cure is found in the verdant depths of Yggdrasil's Arbour, the party returns to Castle Cannock so the Prince can announce his recovery to his parents. It is at this point that the Princess reveals she slipped out of the castle and argues with her father that she must join the others in the fight against Hargon, storming out of the throne room and permanently joining the party.
