King's Field III is the third game in the King's Field RPG series. Like both its successor and predecessors, the game is played through first person view in a dark and mysterious, medieval fantasy setting.
The game was developed by the Japanese game development company From Software, and released June 21, 1996 in Japan, and October 31, 1996 in the U.S.[1][2] Since the first King's Field game was never published outside Japan, King's Field III was released as King's Field II in the U.S. It has only been released for the PlayStation console.

- Zul Arifin - The only archmage you interact with besides the obvious receiving of magical power. Zul is the water archmage who controls the water bridges at lake noel. You must give her a recovery item to be granted entrance into the dial room.
- Lord Oliver Veyrac - He is a sword master who knew the kings father and will teach Lyle level 1 sword magic, give him the Ichrius' wings, and upon meeting certain requirements may give you the "groundal blade". Lord Veyrac protects Priscilla and Toni Gomez who live with him in the ghost village of Cason. When you first meet him you will find that his current state of petrification doesn't make him extremely talkative.
- Priscilla Gomez - Her parents were caught shipping the red herb out of ralugo and were executed. She now lives with her older sister Toni, and she is found tending to her parents garden. She wishes that the children would return to Cason so she could have someone to play with.
- Toni Gomez - When Lord Veyrac was turned to stone Toni went out looking for an orladins needle in which to free him. She wishes for peace, and for the happiness of her younger sister.
- Orladin - A powerful archmage who enjoyed playing tricks on people, sometimes costing them their life. He was granted the power of Ichrius, but isolated himself in his chamber in the Place of Beginning after learning that his sole purpose in life was to wait for Prince Lyle to inherit the power from him, figuring he did not need to be alive to await the future Golden King's arrival. Talking to the bones of Orladin after restoring his skull grants Lyle a significant boost in his ability to cast light magic.
