Obviously I can't be 100% reliable on this but I believe that the game's plot begins once you get to the castle.

Cool, thanks for the tips guys, I take it the game gets a lot more open-ended from here on out

Hey guys, I got this game a few days ago and have really been enjoying it despite not usually being a fan of CRPG's. I especially like how non-linear the game is but it seems that maybe it's a little too non-linear now. I just recovered the necklace for the mayor of Formello and now the "main quest" is directing me towards the Castle. However, my party is only level 7 which I think may be a little too low for the southern regions so now I am unsure whether I should head towards the castle and do all of the quests in Mertis and the Tower of Magi or stay in the Eastern Galleys and maybe do some quests in Cotra. Thanks for the help in advance.
