Midenhall is a location in Dragon Quest II. A castle in northeast Torland, it serves as the starting point of the game.
Synopsis[]
Midenhall is one of the three kingdoms established by the descendant of Erdrick and Princess Gwaelin after the events of the first game, as well as the oldest.
At the beginning of the story, a wounded soldier arrives from Moonbrooke to inform the king of Hargon's attack on that kingdom, setting the plot in motion as the Prince of Midenhall embarks on his quest to save the world.
Lightning staff[]
In the castle dungeons a Wrecktor is imprisoned; if defeated, it will drop the lightning staff, the Princess of Moonbrooke's best weapon.

Dragon Quest Builders 2[]
Midenhall appears in ruins in Chapter 3; it is where the Builder gets ambushed by monsters and learns an important part of the plot when the main events leads them here.
Version differences[]
- In the NES version, the Wrecktor will revive after the player saves and resets the game, allowing them to fight the monster over and over for duplicates of the lightning staff, which can then be sold for profit. This has been fixed in the remakes.
- The Game Boy version moves several rooms and NPCs to the upper level of the castle.
Etymology[]
- The former name Laurasia stems from Princess Gwaelin's name in the Game Boy version of Dragon Warrior, 'Lora'. This name is also used in the Japanese versions of the games.
- Laurasia is also the name of the real-life supercontinent that dominated the northern half of the world 200~180 million years ago.
