The Hero's Hometown is a location in Dragon Quest IV. A quite, unnamed village east of Baturando, it was built for the express purpose of hiding and protecting the Chosen until he came of age and was ready to fight his destined enemy, the Esturk the King of Hell.
Chapter 5 opens with its destruction at the hands of Saro 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 Celia, the Hero survives and begins gathering the other Chosen around him to take on Hell.
In the remakes, there is also a very brief prologue that takes place in the Hero's hometown.
