A comparison of maps from the Dungeon Master's Gui8de (2024) and From the Ashes (1992), showing the locations of Tokhel Castle and Tenser's Castle.

"Tokhel Castle. This blasted ruin stands on a rocky promontory above the Nyr Dyv. A dead magic zone ... encompasses most of the ruin, and monsters guard whatever secrets the ancient castle and its dungeons might hold."

In the Dungeon Master's Guide (2024), Tokhel Castle is only a few sparing details. Its location is at the same place on the map provided in the sourcebook that was previously labeled "Tenser's Castle."

The origin of the "dead magic zone" is unknown. One possible explanation may be that something happened with the "Endless Well" (the oerthblood mine) beneath Tenser's castle, demolishing or ruining the citadel. Although it is unknown if this was once Tenser's Castle, despite being placed the same.
