The [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|Hero's]] first arrival in Manoza is a grim one, with a funeral being held for a man named Breno. Speaking to the people gathered, the party learns that he was put to death for no more than just speaking ill of the King. The regent has said to have been very kind-hearted and considerate to his subjects in the recent past, but has all of a sudden become a tyrannical despot who rules with an iron fist. The villagers are distraught, with some families willing to risk the dangers of the wild just to escape living in fear of being put to death every waking moment. | The [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|Hero's]] first arrival in Manoza is a grim one, with a funeral being held for a man named Breno.

Upon speaking to the dictator, the King will declare that he doesn't like the look of the Hero and has the party thrown into the dungeon. Fortunately, the guards play dumb and allow the Hero to escape through the secret tunnel below the castle, and here the real king is found. | Upon entering the castle, the party will see that the staff is walking on the same eggshells that the normal citizens are.
