In the original Famicom release of | In the original {{Famicom}} release of {{Dragon Quest}}, the town surrounding the Ladutorm Castle (ラダトーム城, ''radatōmu shiro'') is called the same name as the castle, Ladutorm Town (ラダトームの町, ''radatōmu no machi''). When the game was localized and released overseas it was decided to give the castle and town different names ('''Tantegel''' and '''Brecconary''' respectively). In all other English version releases both town and castle are referred to as Tantegel, and combined into one icon on the world map. | ||

The {{Luminary}} can visit Tantegel during the era of the first game through the [[Echo Chamber]]. Here he will find that King Lorik has fallen mute, and needs some spectrum nectar to speak again. This nectar is given to the Luminary upon entering [[Tickington]] after beating [[Calasmos]]. The monarch will reward his saviors with a [[Pallium regale]], and a ballad sung in their honor. | |||

*One reason the town was given a different name in the NES version is because the localizers may have thought that it would be odd to call it the same name as its castle, as it is entirely separate from the castle on the world map. However, in ''Dragon Quest II'' and ''III'', Tantegel is composed of both combined locations. | *One reason the town was given a different name in the {{NES}} version is because the localizers may have thought that it would be odd to call it the same name as its castle, as it is entirely separate from the castle on the world map.

*In all remakes of ''Dragon Quest'', there is a woman in the Town of Tantegel who will remark on the hero's good looks and follow the player around until they enter a new area. Interestingly, if the player lodges at the inn with her in tow, the innkeeper will comment that they got up late. | *In all remakes of ''Dragon Quest'', there is a woman in the Town of Tantegel who will remark on the hero's good looks and follow the player around until they enter a new area.
