How did the hero of Dragon Warrior 1 know he was Erdricks descendant?
He had a dream where he walked into the basement of his family’s home to find Erdrick (a legendary hero who saved the world from a great evil). Erdrick told Dave of a long-forgotten premonition. Before the archfiend died he mentioned that a great evil would return to Alefgard. Erdrick explained that Dave was his descendant and was destined to defeat the new evil. The next day Dave went into the basement and went through a chest of his ancestor’s possessions. There he found his great grandfather’s diary. On the first page it explained that he was Erdrick.
