The '''Castle of the Dragon Queen''' is a castle in the [[Overworld (Dragon Quest III)|overworld]] of {{DQ3}}. | |||
[[Category:Dragon | It is located in the mountains east of [[Khoryv]], surrounded by a ring of mountains that make it only accessible via [[Ramia]]. The castle is not a [[Zoom]] point in any version of the game. | ||
==Appearances== | |||
==={{DQ3}}=== | |||
The castle lies in extreme isolation from the rest of the world, with seemingly no humans having ventured to it in several decades. It is a vertically-aligned rectangular building with one large chamber encompassing two reflecting pools and a block of smaller, interconnected rooms. The Queen rests in the exact center of the castle. | |||
The [[Dragon Queen]] lives peacefully in the opulent palace along with {{Dwarves}}, [[Elves and Faeries|Faeries]], and talking animals, but she is close to death at the time the {{Hero 3}} and {{Party 3}} arrive. She bequeaths the Hero the [[Sphere of Light]], which is necessary in order to defeat [[Zoma]], the final boss of {{Dragon Quest III}}. Before her passing on and fading away, she lays one egg that the player can inspect to hear the faint sounds of an infant coming from within. | |||
In the remakes of {{Dragon Quest III}}, the castle serves as the entrance point to the first [[bonus dungeon]]. It can be found by standing in the sunlight of the northernmost window of the castle. This [[bonus dungeon]] leads the {{Party 3}} to the {{Cloudsgate Citadel 3}} and [[Xenlon]], and has lead to much speculation over possible connections between the [[Erdrick trilogy]] and the [[Zenithia trilogy]]. | |||

*The location of the Queen's castle roughly corresponds to northern China, an appropriate home for a dragon monarch. | |||
