Deck Lore
Dragon Quest 8 is one of many in the Dragon Quest series. Originally known as Dragon Warrior in the US, DQ8 was released in November of 2005 for PlayStation 2. This classic style turn-based RPG was a huge success compared to the series’ previous releases.
While most games in the series have well over 300 monsters, this deck includes only about 100 monsters but gives a good representation of the hero’s most common and well known adversaries. All main plot characters are also included as high level cards. The SE cards include 3 dragons from the game’s main “side quest”, an alchemy pot which creates the strongest weapons/armor/items in the game, and the landscape of the Trodian Empire.
A nameless hero is in pursuit of an evil jester Dhoulmagus who stole a magical scepter from the Trodain castle. Dhoulmagus uses the scepter to place a curse on King Trode and Princess Medea to give them ghastly appearances as well as cover all of Trodain castle and its inhabitants in thorns. As the plot continues, Hero is joined by three companions: Yangus a bumbling fool, Jessica a beautiful mage, and Angelo a charismatic knight. Each has their own reason for seeking vengeance against Dhoulmagus and they begin a long journey. It is later discovered that the source of the scepter’s evil power is Rhapthorne, The Lord of Darkness. The party continues to pursue different possessors of the scepter and in the end, confronts and defeats Rhapthorne. The curse is lifted and order is restored to the world and the Trodain Empire.
