'''Tantegel''' (ラダトーム, ''Radatōmu'', ''Ladutorm'') is a castle and accompanying town which serve as the capital of [[Alefgard]]. It is featured in the first three ''Dragon Quest'' games: ''[[Dragon Quest]]'', ''[[Dragon Quest II]]'', and ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'', as part of the [[Erdrick Trilogy]]. Tantegel is the starting and central location in the original ''Dragon Quest'' and is the only location in Alefgard which has a castle and a reigning king.
'''Tantegel''' is a castle and accompanying town which serve as the capital of [[Alefgard]]. It is featured in the first three ''Dragon Quest'' games: {{DQ}}, {{DQ2}}, and {{DQ3}}, as part of the [[Erdrick trilogy]]. Tantegel is the starting and central location in the original ''Dragon Quest'' and is the only location in Alefgard which has a castle and a reigning king.


In the original Famicom release of ''Dragon Quest'', the town surrounding the Ladutorm Castle (ラダトーム城, ''Radatōmu Shiro'')is called the same name as the castle, Ladutorm Town (ラダトームの町, ''Radatōmu no Machi''). When the game was localized and released overseas it was decided to give the castle and town different names ('''Tantegel''' and '''Brecconary''' respectively). In all other English version releases both town and castle are referred to as Tantegel, and combined into one icon on the world map.

In ''Dragon Quest II'', Tantegel is much less important. It is not reached until nearly halfway into the game, and the new king is hiding out of fear of [[Hargon]]. No major items/information are located there and it can be skipped altogether if desired.

Revision as of 05:48, 1 May 2021

Tantegel is a castle and accompanying town which serve as the capital of Alefgard. It is featured in the first three Dragon Quest games: Dragon Quest, Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line, and Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation, as part of the Erdrick trilogy. Tantegel is the starting and central location in the original Dragon Quest and is the only location in Alefgard which has a castle and a reigning king.

In the original Famicom release of Dragon Quest, the town surrounding the Ladutorm Castle (ラダトーム城, radatōmu shiro) is called the same name as the castle, Ladutorm Town (ラダトームの町, radatōmu no machi). When the game was localized and released overseas it was decided to give the castle and town different names (Tantegel and Brecconary respectively). In all other English version releases both town and castle are referred to as Tantegel, and combined into one icon on the world map.

Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line

In Dragon Quest II, Tantegel is much less important. It is not reached until nearly halfway into the game, and the new king is hiding out of fear of Hargon. No major items/information are located there and it can be skipped altogether if desired.

This does not apply to the mobile remakes, which have the king possess one of the five Sigils.

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age

The Luminary can visit Tantegel during the era of the first game through the Echo Chamber. Here he will find that king Lorik has fallen mute, and needs some spectrum nectar to speak again. This nectar is given to the Luminary upon entering Tickington after beating Calasmos. The monarch will reward his saviors with a Pallium regale, and a ballad sung in their honor.

Dragon Quest Builders

In this game, Tantegel has two areas that can be reached by using teleportals: Tantegel Moor and Charlock Castle. The boss of the fourth and final chapter is the Dragonlord.

In Animation

  • In the Captain N: The Game Master episode "Three Men and a Dragon", The N Team arrived in Dragon's Den through a Warp Zone leading to Brecconary. While there, Kevin Keene/Captain N obtained Magical herb from the weapon store's shopkeeper in exchange for his digital watch. Simon Belmont purchased water skis, while Kid Icarus (aka Pit) got a magic helmet. The shopkeeper also offered a golden battle axe, but the N Team declined on it.

Comic/Manga

  • Nintendo Power Volume 10: The issue contains a Howard & Nester comic where the titular duo arrive at Tantegel. The latter attempts in vain to get the Sunstone.
