It is accessible only near the end of each game and contains the final dungeon and boss for each. It has its own world map which is typically much darker (and smaller) than the normal world map, providing habitation for ferocious monsters and freakishly bizarre flora.
Its counterpart is Zenithia, a castle in the sky that watches over the world of mortals.

Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly BrideEdit
Nadiria lies beyond the Estuary Sanctuary, normally sealed from the world. The Grandmaster of the Underworld has been steadily trying to extend his influence beyond Nadiria. The underworld consists of wild tropical jungles and treacherous canyons underneath a churning, dark purple sky. Locales within this realm include a town called Precaria that houses reformed monsters, as well as a T'n'T board and Mt. Zugzwang.
