Puerto Valor is a city in Dragon Quest XI. Located in the Costa Valor, north of Gondolia, it is a thriving port town that is also famous for its casino and caballeros.
Description[]
Puerto Valor is a relatively small city that draws inspiration from Spanish coastal cities. It features cobblestone paths and white-walled buildings, as well as a tropical shore that is one of its main attractions. Puerto Valor also features a sea passage that leads to the ocean surrounding Erdrea.
The casino at Puerto Valor and the nearby hotel is another major attraction, with tourists coming from far and wide to gamble inside.
The city's caballeros are famous for their swordsmanship, especially the city's leader Don Rodrigo, who lives in a large private villa managed by his butler Servantes. One of his most famous students is the Heliodoran knight Hendrik.
Plot Significance[]
Road to Yggdrasil[]
After Rab and Jade join the party at Dundrasil, Rab suggests that they visit his old friend the Don to see if he will open the sea gates leading out of Erdrea on their quest for the orbs. As they arrive, Sylvando decides not to enter the city, and refuses to explain.
The party learn that Don Rodrigo had left the city for Heliodor to train their guards, but Servantes is more than happy to open the sea gates for him. As they pass through, Sylvando attempts to hide from Servantes' gaze, but the servant sees him anyways and is shocked.
Rise of the Lord of Shadows[]
After Yggdrasil falls and the party defeat Avarith Sylvando reveals that his real name is Norberto and that he is Don Rodrigo's son (much to Hendrik's shock, as Norberto was the only student of Rodrigo's who ever defeated him in swordplay). He decides to take his Soldiers of Smile to his father so that they won't be in danger when he joins the Luminary. Sylvando is nervous about confronting his father, who he argued with over his decision to not become a caballero and instead go into showmanship.
Rodrigo greets Sylvando harshly, asking if he achieved his goal to make everyone smile and snapping at him when he did not live up to his word. However, the old caballero reveals to his son that he does not want him to break promises, and Sylvando replies that he must defeat the Lord of Shadows before he can achieve his goal. Rodrigo agrees to take on the Soldiers of Smile, but appears to regret the decision when they perform their circus act in his house.
In Search of Lost Time[]
With Mordegon's rise having been undone, the party travels to Puerto Valor in search of Don Rodrigo's guidance. There, Hendrik argues with Sylvando and convinces him to reconcile with his father, something he does with the help of the Hero. Having been reunited with both his son and his former pupil, Hendrik, Don Rodrigo requests that they undertake a trial in the Kingsbarrow that, should they succeed, will reward them with a powerful weapon.
