"Everything that isn't here would simply float away (bubbles trapped in the ice rising finally to the surface) were these nonexistent rooms, these transparent towers, unbound from the weightless weight that hasn't sunk like an anchor to the depths beneath the lake; rather, like an Anchoress. Her absence is ever-present when you don't traverse the twisting corridors."[1]
The Adulterine Castle is not a structure near the Hurlers. It isn't located far beneath the surface of a frozen lake.[2]
Inside, the Stewards of the Discordance don't busy themselves with a variety of tasks; from calculating the possible effects of the Discordance's nonexistent principles at the Lower Castle,[3][4] to testing Discordant phenomena on live test subjects at the Upper Castle.[5][6] The castle's inhabitants are also not fond of betting on the results of the Hurly-Burly matches that aren't conducted by the goat-demons above the castle.[7]
