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.

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.
It is indeed. I love to come out here and behold its beauty. It would be lovely if we could fix it up.  Alas, I am just a lone blacksmith. My hands are full making weapons for the king's army. I am a noble of the court. I am busy with social events and pleasing the king! I came here looking to salvage any leftover valuables. Have you seen any by any chance? I have not! I did not know people were doing such. Do you know who used to live in this castle? This ruined castle once belonged to the ancestors of the current king. Many of them perished when part of it sank into the ocean.  I have never heard of it. They do not talk about it much at the king's place. It is such a shame.  Indeed, it is a tragedy most in the kingdom have already suppressed in their memories.  Then how could people come loot such a place as this? The items in this castle belong to the king's family. I have only come to retrieve whatever remain on his behalf.  I figured people would come out here and take it as their own. Luckily, not too many people still pass by here. The cliffs are very unstable and one false move could result in death!
