{{quote|style=2|quote=''Scion of the bloodline of Erdrick, hero of legend! Long have I awaited thy coming! In days of yore, thy revered ancestor did receive of the Almighty Goddess the Sphere of Light. By its power was our world rid of the menace which did beset it. Yet, alas, some few years past, there did arise a new threat--the Dragonlord. With his coming, he did steal away the Sphere of Light from us, plunging the land into darkness once more. Should this state of affairs be suffered to continue, the night must surely take unrelenting hold, and our realm perish. So I say to thee, of the bloodline of heroes, vanquish the accursed Dragonlord, and reclaim the Sphere of Light!''|source=King Lorik from {{Dragon Quest}}|console=[[Cell phone]]|}}

==={{DQ}}===
King Lorik (ラルス16世/Rarusu XVI) is the first to speak with the [[Hero (Dragon Quest)|Hero]] and requests that the descendant of [[Erdrick]] defeat the Dragonlord and recover the Ball of Light. He gives the Hero 120 [[gold]] coins, a [[torch]] and a [[Magic Key]] to assist him in his quest. The Hero will also need to rescue his daughter, Lady Lora, from a [[Green dragon]]. King Lorik has the ability to tell the Hero how many experience points are needed to reach the next level and is the only person in ''Dragon Quest'' that can record your deeds onto the Imperial Scrolls of Honor.

In [[Tantegel]], King Lorik is the first to speak with the {{Hero 1}} and requests that the descendant of [[Erdrick]] defeat the Dragonlord and recover the Sphere of Light. He gives the Hero 120 {{Gold}}, a [[Torch]] and a [[Magic Key]] to assist him in his quest. The Hero will also need to rescue his daughter Gwaelin from a [[Green dragon]]. King Lorik has the ability to tell the Hero how many experience points are needed to reach the next level and is the only person in {{Dragon Quest}} that can record your deeds onto the Imperial Scrolls of Honor.


At the end of the game, he offers his throne to the {{Hero 1}}, but that offer is declined. If Gwaelin is rescued, he joyfully grants his blessings to their union.
"Descendant of Erdrick, listen now to my words. It is told that in ages past Erdrick fought demons with a Ball of Light. Then came the Dragonlord who stole the precious globe and hid it in the darkness. Now, Hero, thou must help us recover the Ball of Light and restore peace to our land. The Dragonlord must be defeated. Take now whatever thou may find in these Treasure Chests to aid thee in thy quest. Then speak with the guards, for they have much knowledge that may aid thee. May the light shine upon thee, Hero."

At the end of the game, he offers his throne to the hero, but that offer is declined. If Lora is rescued, he joyfully grants his blessings to their union.
King Lorik has been stricken with a curse that renders him unable to speak, and his daughter beseeches the {{Luminary}} and his allies to cure her father. After giving the king some spectrum nectar gifted by a tockle, he thanks the group with a [[Pallium regale]] and recites a song in their honor.


==Trivia==
==Notes==
*The updated artwork by [[Akira Toriyama]] has Lorik looking considerably younger than originally envisioned.

*The King's given name is only stated in the original {{Famicom}} and {{NES}} Versions of {{Dragon Quest}}, later remakes of the game removed any mention of the King's proper name, only referring to him as "the King".
