Biography
Main Games
Dragon Quest
In Tantegel, King Lorik is the first to speak with the Hero and requests that the descendant of Erdrick defeat the Dragonlord and recover the Sphere of Light. He gives the Hero 120 gold coins, a torch and a Magic Key to assist him in his quest. The Hero will also need to rescue his daughter Gwaelin from a Green dragon. King Lorik has the ability to tell the Hero how many experience points are needed to reach the next level and is the only person in Dragon Quest that can record your deeds onto the Imperial Scrolls of Honor.
At the end of the game, he offers his throne to the hero, but that offer is declined. If Gwaelin is rescued, he joyfully grants his blessings to their union.
Dragon Quest XI
King Lorik has been stricken with a curse that renders him unable to speak, and his daughter beseeches the Luminary and his allies to cure her father. After giving the king some spectrum nectar gifted by a tockle, he thanks the group with a Pallium Regale and recites a song in their honor.
Trivia
- The updated artwork by Akira Toriyama has Lorik looking considerably younger than originally envisioned.
- The King's given name is only stated in the original Famicom and NES versions of Dragon Quest. Later remakes of the game removed any mention of the King's proper name, only referring to him as "the King".
