Castle Sasune

Castle Sasune is a location in Final Fantasy III. Located on the Floating Continent, it is in the same area as Ur and Kazus. According to a local soldier, the Red Mages are warriors who have mastered both the way of the sword and magic, and every soldier in Sasune aspires to become one.
The party can rest on the princess' bed in the fourth floor of the eastern tower.
== Story ==
The Warriors of the Light visit Sasune so as to obtain the castle's Mythril Ring and lift the Djinn's curse, but they find that Princess Sara Altney has taken it to the Sealed Cave, where the Djinn resides.
In the 3D versions, the party meets Ingus here, since he is unaffected by the Djinn's curse. Hoping to break the curse on the castle, Ingus joins the party to find the princess.
Later, after defeating the Djinn, the party returns here to cleanse the Mythril Ring used to seal him. This banishes the curse once and for all.
