A quiet, unnamed village east of Burland, it was built for the express purpose of hiding and protecting the Chosen until they came of age and was ready to fight their destined enemy, the Lord of the Underworld: Estark.
Appearances[edit]
Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen[edit]
This town is only seen during the beginning of Chapter 5 in the NES original, but in the remakes there is also a very brief Prologue that takes place in the valley and gives a glimpse of the daily life, with the Hero training, having fun with Eliza, and spending time with their adoptive parents.
The fifth chapter of the game opens with the village's destruction at the hands of Psaro the Manslayer and his minions, who are hoping to kill the Hero before he can become a threat. However, thanks to the quick thinking and brave sacrifice of his childhood friend Eliza, the Hero survives and begins gathering the other Chosen Ones around him to take on the forces of Nadiria.
Treasures[edit]

- Seed of strength (remakes)
- Packed lunch (To give to the father of The Hero)
- Medicinal herb (2) (NES version)

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age[edit]
The Luminary and his party can visit this secluded hamlet through the Echo Chamber. They are taken to a time just before the events of the fifth chapter of IV, when Eliza is still practicing her Morph spell. Unfortunately, she is stuck in the form of a Slime and is being chased by the suspicious villagers, who accuse the ooze of being responsible for Eliza's disappearance. The party must present the poor girl with a supreme sage's staff to return her to her normal form, and are then accused of being in league with the slime by the villagers. Eliza apologies for all the fuss, and sets the townsfolk straight after taking the Luminary's shape. The town can then be explored at will, but the cellar in the northeastern section is strictly off limits.
