+'''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.
-'''Charlock Castle''' is the older localization term that refers both to the [[Dragonlord]]'s castle and to [[Zoma]]'s Citadel. This unifying name did not exist in the original Japanese version, where distinct names were used for the two locations. This separation has been reflected in [[Square Enix]]'s modern localization, leading to the retirement of the Charlock name.
-However, the term  is still popular with fans due to its convenient nature and the nine year gap between the beginning of the new localization standards in 2005 and the release of the [[Cell phone|smart phone]] Version of the original game in 2014.
-For the castle occupied by the sovereign of serpents, see: [[Dragonlord's Castle]]
-For the original den of evil in the [[Erdrick trilogy]], see: [[Zoma's Citadel]]
+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 [[Cell phone|smart phone]] version of the original game in 2014.
