Charlock Castle is the invented localization term for the Dragonlord's Castle that only appeared in the 1989 NES release of Dragon Warrior. A distinct name for the castle separate from its owner did not exist in the original Japanese script, which simply called it the Castle of the Dragonking (竜王の城). This has been reflected in Square Enix's modern localization of the first game, leading to the retirement of the Charlock name in 2014 when the title was freshly translated.
However, the term is still popular with fans due to its appropriately forbidding name and the nine year gap between the beginning of the new localization standards in 2005 and the release of the smart phone version of the original game in 2014.
