The Rimland priestesses are a pair of young shrine maidens who speak in unison and watch over the egg of Ramia the Everbird in the forbidding wastes of the frozen continent at the end of the world.
AppearancesEdit
Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of SalvationEdit
The priestesses watch over the unborn Ramia in the Shrine of the Everbird, awaiting the arrival of the Hero. Upon the Hero's arrival, the priestesses describe the legendary six orbs with which to hatch the Everbird and speak with urgency to assemble them, warning of the encroaching darkness from the Necrogond.
Dragon Quest III HD-2D RemakeEdit
The twin sisters serve the same role as in past versions of the game, though they now inform the Hero that Ortega also reached their shrine in the past and lament his disappearance from the world. Humorously the priestesses are also the final opponents of rank 10 of the Jipang monster arena, raising a great troll and terror troll. They compliment the Hero for making it so far in the competition, but warn that they will not be underestimated.
Dragon Quest RivalsEdit
The shrine maiden's likenesses appear on the art of several cards.
Dragon Quest of the StarsEdit
The priestesses appear as part of the event based on Dragon Quest III. The twins' outfits are inconsistent with their other depictions, wearing golden blouses with large blue necklaces instead of purple tops with gold necklaces.

TriviaEdit
- The Shrine of the Everbird provides little shelter from the tundra of Rimland, implying that the twins are more than common humans for enduring the cold with no issue.
- The twins are based on the Shobijin, the little beauties who attend to the kaiju Mothra and serve as her voice when communing with humans. The Shobijin were portrayed by Emi and Yumi Ito, a singing duo known as The Peanuts whom Koichi Sugiyama wrote songs for from the 1960's to the 70's during his career at Fuji Television.
- The twins used the stock Faerie sprites in the NES version of the game, but were given unique sprites in the Super Famicom remake.
- There are twins on the island of Empycchu who pay homage to the priestesses, speaking in unison and urging the Hero to collect the six orbs.
