The Castle of Silling is a single-towered fortress “beneath the dwelling of the Prism” that moves: whoever takes it can carry it wherever they wish. It is named after the castle of The 120 Days of Sodom.

Description
It first arrives as a letter appearing in one’s hands — the invitation to Prince Héctor to its inauguration party, addressed “beneath the dwelling of the Prism”. On arrival: a fortress more church than castle, a ten-meter wall and a moat of strange water, preceded by a bridge that explodes. Its mobility makes it a prize rather than a destination, offered alongside the crown of the circle. It is noted under the heading “Violence at the moment the contract breaks. Rites and levels… Another order, barely resisted.”
