Castle Cornelia, also known as Coneria Castle, is the stronghold of the King of Cornelia in the original Final Fantasy, standing outside the town walls of Cornelia. The king's wife, Queen Jayne, and two daughters, one being Princess Sarah, also live in the castle.
Story[]
The Warriors of Light arrive to Cornelia and, after showing their crystals, are sent to the castle. There, the King asks the warriors to save his daughter, Princess Sarah, from the hands of the corrupt knight Garland. After rescuing Sarah from the Chaos Shrine, they later return with the Mystic Key to retrieve the castle's store of explosives, in order to blast a route out of the Aldean Sea.
