The Immigrant Town is a town that can be created by the player in the PlayStation and Nintendo DS version of Dragon Quest IV. It's started by Hank Hoffman Jr. after he leaves The Hero's group in the area occupied by the Desert Bazaar.
Synopsis
After his apprenticeship with Conrad Hilton in Mintos, Hank Hoffman Jr. asks The Hero to look around the world to invite people to help in making the field into a town.
Eventually is revealed that the site was in the past home of a kingdom named Pioniria, before its last sultan Farog, accidentally cursed the realm by breaking a Genie's pot.
