Aliahan is castletown located on a large island in the southeastern in the world of Dragon Quest III. It is the starting location in Dragon Quest III.
Locations
Hero's House
The Hero's house is located in Aliahan. This is where the player begins the game.
Lucia's Place
Lucia's placce is a unique location located in Aliahan. It consists of both a hall of registration, where new party companions can be conscripted and named, and a draft counter where party members can be added or removed. This is where the player receives companions throughout the game. However, as added party members are controlled completely by the player, these characters do not take part in the storyline in any way.
Lucia's place is also the location where a party member can be found after being a victim of a Limbo spell.
Bank
There is a bank in Aliahan which accepts gold in 1000 piece increments. In the original version of Dragon Quest III, this bank will also store items. However, in remakes where the party has a bag as part of their inventory, the item portion of the bank has been removed.
Medal King
In the remakes of Dragon Quest III, the medal king lives in the bottom of the well in Aliahan. He accepts mini medals in exchange for various item prizes.
Geography
Although most locations in the world of Dragon Quest III mimic real world locations, the continent of Aliahan does not. This seems to support the supposition that the Hero hails from a distant and mysterious place rather than one based on a real world location.
