Nadiria is where the bulk of the game takes place, being a cluster of disconnected regions divided into the [[Circle of Conquest]], the [[Circle of Temper]], the [[Circle of Indulgence]], the [[Circle of Caprice]], and the [[Circle of Fortitude]]. These circles are in turn split into three echelons of lowest, middle, and highest order with the power of the resident monster matching the station. The tyrant [[Randolfo]] rules the underworld with an iron fist from the upper echelon of the Circle of Conquest, marking it as the final destination for {{Psaro C}}. | |||
Of note is that the upper echelon of the Circle of Conquest is based on the map of Nadiria seen in ''Dragon Quest IV'', with the [[Hopeful Haven]] and [[Conqueror's Keep]] taking the place of [[Heaven's Haven]] and [[Castle Nadiria]] respectively. Much like in the original game, Randolfo's macabre palace is protected by a barrier maintained by his four subordinates within the four dens on the outer edges of the echelon. | |||
