In ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]'', Zenithia makes its first appearance. The castle can be accessed by climbing the [[Stairway to Zenithia]] near the [[Azimuth]], which goes as far up to the sky. It is directly above the entrance to [[Nadiria]]. While at Zenithia, the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|hero]] is given additional experience points by the Zenith Dragon, enough to raise them one level. | In ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]'', Zenithia makes its first appearance. The castle can be accessed by climbing the [[Stairway to Zenithia]] near the [[Azimuth]], which goes as far up to the sky. It is directly above the entrance to [[Nadiria]]. While at Zenithia, the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|hero]] is given additional experience points by the Zenith Dragon, enough to raise them one level. The Dragon also unlocks the Zenithian Sword's true powers, as it will be needed for the final confrontation. In the wake of [[Psaro the Manslayer]]'s transformation in Nadiria, an energy beam is emitted and reaches the skies, burning a hole in the clouds. This hole gives the Hero access to the [[Doorway to Nadiria]] where the beam came from. | ||
In one of the castle chambers, a Zenithian woman can be interacted with. Her dialogue seems to imply that she is the Hero's long-lost mother. In addition, a diary can be found in the library. Its contents reveal more information about the Hero's mother. In the adjacent rooms, the Hero can obtain a [[Yggdrasil dew]] if he/she does not have any at the moment. | |||
If the Hero interacts with [[Orifiela]], she will allow her dragon companion, [[Sparkie]], to accompany the Hero as a temporary party member. | |||

In ''[[Dragon Quest V]]'', Zenithia has fallen into a lake south of [[Lofty Peak]]. This happened when the [[Golden Orb]], half of a set of magical orbs that supported the castle in the sky, fell from its place in the foundation of the castle to the land below. Once recovered and returned to the [[Zenith Dragon]], it will make Zenithia rise again but not to it's full height. With this partially restored power, the castle can move freely around the lower sky and is one of the methods of travel used by the [[Hero (Dragon Quest V)|hero]] to fly around the world map -- it's the only means of reaching the secluded [[Talon Tower]]. | In ''[[Dragon Quest V]]'', Zenithia has fallen into a lake south of [[Lofty Peak]].

Aside from the hidden passageway leading to the two orb pedestals, Zenithia's physical layout is largely unchanged from its previous appearance in Dragon Quest IV. The hole in the clouds is still present as well, although it no longer serves any purpose. In addition, the diary containing information about the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|previous Legendary Hero]]'s mother is still present in the library, although its pages have aged to the point where only a small portion of the original passage can be read. | |||

Cloudsgate Citadel is sealed away by [[Demon Lord]] [[Dhuran]] in ''[[Dragon Quest VI]]'', and a giant hole is left behind in its place in the [[ | A former location in the [[Upper World]], Cloudsgate Citadel is sealed away by [[Demon Lord]] [[Dhuran]] in ''[[Dragon Quest VI]]'', and a giant hole is left behind in its place. Initially, the castle is corrupted by darkness and becomes a sentient being known as [[Stormsgate Citadel (boss)|Stormsgate Citadel]]. The party will need to defeat "Stormsgate Citadel" in battle in order to explore it. Inside the castle, [[Hero (Dragon Quest VI)|the hero]] and his companions will need to engage Dread Fiend Dhuran in battle to lift the darkness and restore the castle to its proper place. At this time, the castle is inhabited by normal people and is ruled by a human, King Zenith, although the egg containing the unborn Zenith Dragon is present. After [[Mortamor]] is defeated, the upper world begins to fade away; Cloudsgate Citadel remains as the only part of it that can still be seen and, floating above the real world, it becomes the Zenithia known in ''Dragon Quest IV'' and ''Dragon Quest V''. At some point between Dragon Quest VI and V, the castle's inherent ability to float in the sky will start to wear off, making the two orbs necessary for the castle to remain in the skies. | ||
