Alefgard is the original "overworld" in the ''Dragon Quest'' series.  It is akin to [[Torland]] in ''Dragon Quest II''.  However, in later ''Dragon Quest'' games, the concept of giving a name to the overall world map was dropped.

Although Alefgard is a set of continents divided by water, generally the divisions are quite small, requiring only bridges to connect the various land masses. The exception to this is the southeastern continent, which can be reached only via the [[Swamp Cave]]. Rather than identifying areas by geographical location, it is easiest to identify regions by the names of towns/villages in the vicinity (i.e. the Kol region).

Alefgard is the 'underworld' or 'dark world' of ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'' and is reached late in the game.  This game features a full Alefgard, including some locations which did not appear in the original ''Dragon Quest'' such as the [[Tower West of Kol]].  It also featured [[Domdora]] as a regular town, whereas the first game has it as a deserted town consisting of random monster encounters.  At the end of ''Dragon Quest III'', Alefgard is sealed off from the [[Overworld (Dragon Quest III)|overworld]].
