The entire sentence:
"Over at the castle, King Uther is bringing his mother warmed milk with honey, but as the two bicker, he has an ulterior motive. "

Is "over" an adverb or preposition?

Answer

The preposition is 'at', and I think 'down' is functioning as an adverb: similar to saying 'Up (there) at the castle', 'Down (there) at the castle'.

Answer

The word "over" is used to show a change of location. The writer is telling a story that takes place at one location, then when he says "Over at the castle" he is now telling a story that takes place at the castle.

Answer

It's basically saying "over there/here at the castle".

This kind of prose is often used in storytelling.

The knights gathered on the field for battle. Meanwhile, over at the castle, the King looked on with aprehension.

Preposition
