'''Erdrick's sword''' is a [[Sword (weapon type)|sword]] in the series.

==Characteristics==
Erdrick's sword is the legendary sword originally wielded by the [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|Hero]] of legend, passed on to their descendants to keep the realm of [[Alefgard]] free from evil. It is a one-handed longsword with a golden fuller and hilt that resembles [[Ramia|a godbird]] in flight, set with a red gemstone. The grip appears to be a blue fabric, and the pommel is gold with a red jewel. It was originally known as the [[Sword of Kings]]. In some of its appearances, Erdrick's sword must be reforged or refined with [[Alchemy]] in order to reach its full potential.
