The castle is located at the top of an erosive cliff face of a vast ocean. An entire wing of the castle appear to have collapsed into the ocean due to the erosion of the cliff face, perhaps the reason why the castle now lay abandoned.

elderly man

I am a noble of the court. I hold a powerful position in society. I am often invited to banquets from the elite of this kingdom.
This castle seems abandoned It would certainly seem that way. Or the occupants have not chosen to maintain their home. How did you arrive here? My home is not too far down past the cliff. I fish along the shore, and have wondered about the castle. I have been invited to grand banquets here as I hold a powerful position in society. I have not seen the owners here in quite some time.  When was the last banquet you attended, good Noble? It must have been many fortnights ago. Maybe they have left their home and sailed across the ocean. Have you ever been across the ocean? I'm afraid not. By the time I settled into my beach home, my bones were too old to travel by boat. It sounds exciting though. Do you have a family? Once upon a time, I did. They have all been taken from me. My wife by time, and my sons by war. I am sorry for your loss. I have a large family, but I haven't seen them in quite some time. I appreciate your kindness. I hope that you return to them soon.
