Strathbaile is a town in Dragon Quest IV. It is located in the north of Burland.
Story[]
Chapter 1[]
Ragnar McRyan is called upon to track down Strathbaile's missing children, who have all disappeared under suspicious circumstances. Learning that the local children play in an old well in the nearby forest, Ragnar investigates and discovers a pair of Talaria, magical shoes that fly their wearer to the Loch Tur. It transpires that monsters had been using the Talaria to lure children into the tower, in the hopes that one of them might be the legendary Hero. Ragnar defeats the monstrous kidnappers and frees the captive children, returning them safely home.
Chapter 5[]
If the party visits the town, they will hear stories of guests experiencing mysterious recurring dreams at the local Inn. If they stay the night, they too will witness the dreams - in reality, a psychic cry for help from Rose.
After Rose's abduction, if the party stays at the inn again, they will instead dream of her death at the hands of her human captors.
Chapter 6[]
An additional dream sequence can be witnessed in Strathbaile; it is a quick summary of Psaro and Rose's first meeting, followed by a vague hint directing the Chosen to proceed to the Azimuth for the post-game dungeon.

Version differences[]
- In the remakes, after Rose is saved the dreams in the inn no longer occur.

Trivia[]
- According to one of the dwarven residents of Rosehill, Strathbaile was originally an elven settlement, before they were driven away by humans. This might explain Rose's psychic connection with the town.
