'''Midenhall''' is a castle located in northeast [[Torland]], and is the starting location of {{DQ2}}. | |||
It is one of the three [[List of Kingdoms in Dragon Quest|kingdoms]] established by the [[Hero (Dragon Quest)|descendant of Erdrick]] and [[Princess Gwaelin]], as well as the oldest. | |||
== | ==Appearances== | ||
{{ | ==={{DQ2}}=== | ||
At the beginning of the game, a wounded soldier arrives from the kingdom of [[Moonbrooke]] to tell the king of the events of [[Hargon]]'s attack on his cousin's castle, setting the plot of the game into motion as the {{Prince of Midenhall}} sets out to save the world from the insane cultist. | |||
{{ | |||
Often thought to be the most powerful kingdom due to the wounded soldier from [[Moonbrooke]] going to Midenhall instead of [[Cannock]], which is much closer. | |||
Upon leaving the throne room at the start of the game, The King gives The Hero a chest containing both a [[Copper sword]] and 50 [[gold]] coins. The {{chest}} will only be there until the area is exited, thus being possible to miss. | |||
{{ | |||
Much later on in the game, The [[Hall of Hargon]] will take the form of Midenhall when first entered. The {{NPC}}s speak as if the kindly priest [[Hargon]] has made peace with the nation, swaying them to his cult and imploring the three [[Luminaries|cousins]] to do the same. In order to dispel the illusion and put an end to the madness, the player must use the [[Eye of Rubiss]]. | |||
== | ====Teleportal==== | ||
Middenhall houses the first [[Teleportal]] in the series, transporting the player to a [[List of shrines in Dragon Quest II#Shrine west of Zahan|small island]] just next to [[Zahan]]. The area is too small for the player to explore, and is just a teaser hinting at the scope of the adventure. | |||
== | ====[[Mark of Erdrick]]==== | ||
The Mark of Erdrick is obtainable from the treasure room after getting the [[Golden Key]]. | |||
====[[Lightning staff]]==== | |||
Midenhall's dungeon houses an [[Wrecktor]] that will drop the [[Princess of Moonbrooke]]'s best weapon, the Lightning staff. | |||
In the {{NES}} version of {{II}}, the Wrecktor will revive after the player saves and resets their game, allow them to pummel the monster over and over to sell duplicates of the staff at a massive profit. This handy exploit was removed in all other versions. | |||
====Other treasures==== | |||
*'''50 [[gold]] coins''' | |||
*'''[[Copper sword]]''' | |||
*1,196 [[gold]] coins (remakes) | |||

=={{DQB2}}== | |||
[[Hargon]]'s illusion of Midenhall appears near the end of {{DQ4 Chapter 3}} and appear as a ruin and where the Builder gets ambushed by monsters after Warwick is found out as a traitor to [[Moonbrooke]]. | |||
==Etymology== | |||
*The name ''Laurasia'' derives from [[Princess Gwaelin]]'s Japanese name ''Laura''. She and the {{Hero 1}} from {{Dragon Quest}} traveled to new lands after the events of {{Dragon Quest}}. | |||
:*Laurasia was also the name of the real-life super continent that dominated the northern half of the world 200~180 million years ago. | |||
