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
ghost
I am currently haunting the kings castle tower.  I truly enjoy scaring these poor souls.  They do not understand that it is me.  I once ruled these halls it's king.  Now I will forever haunt them as it's ghost.
the castle deserves all the haunting it's getting right now  A ghost! Please dont hurt me! give me one sound reason why I should not That villager over there is more deserving of it! If youre gonna hurt somebody, hurt him! tell me more about him He's just... a weird guy.  but since you are in this castle, it means you are weird too Oh, no! You see I am the oldest and wisest man of my village! I am here because I am..wise and old? What of you, ghost? Why do you haunt these parts? then it means you can tell me why the castle is abandoned Why due to the erosion of the cliff side, of course! The whole place is falling apart. Is that how you died, ghost? is that  why an  entire wing of the castle appear to have collapsed into the ocean Precisely! I am very wise.
