The Faerie Realm is a pocket dimension present in Dragon Quest V. Assumed to exist above the mortal world, it is where the Faeries reside and monitor the worlds below. As with the underground world of Nadiria, it is treated as its own world and has a distinct world map, especially in remake versions where it can be revisited in sidequests. The Zoom spell, as in Nadiria, treats it as a location in the greater world.
The Faery Realm was eventually visited by the Hero and his party in multiple points in his life during his adventure, aiding the Faeries and in return receiving their help.
