"Well, I believe it once was the castle of some duke or count who lived here. But that was a long time ago. Since we no longer have such a ruler we no longer have need of a castle. Some people say it's haunted, but I think that's just old women's talk. There's no such thing as ghosts. But there's nothing much to see there, just crumbled walls. Not really interesting." - Gharry describing the Ruins of Mandelin
