====The Silken Salon====
An opulent, circular hall in the heart of the Atelier, on the periphery of the Château. Here, Names and Long alike gather, with the Modiste-and-Mannequin as their inspiring hosts, partly to amuse one another and partly to refine the taste and increase the knowledge of the participants through conversation. The many entrances, which lead to other related locations, are lost beneath soft, silky drapes, and above each door, there is the motto: 'Aut delectare aut prodesse' ("Either to please or to educate"). The Salon freely changes its appearance, depending on the current purpose, and thanks to the dream logic of Mansus, all those forms can coexist at any given time.
1) The Salon des Beaux-Arts (the Salon of Fine Arts), also known as the Salon de Printemps (the Spring Salon), and often simply as the Silken Salon, is formed by the grand Names of the Modiste, known as the Couture, who plan and plot their attempts to establish themselves in their current position and win their mistress' favour. The discussions about the springtime fashion used to happen here, but less so now, after the Collision has shattered the world. The Velveteen Valet sometimes conducts his feasts here, to undermine the discussions and plotting. The Shuttered Château can be accessed from here.
===The Cotton ???===
The Corsetry is a prison-like location where corsets and crinolines are used as cages for failed creations and the offending Long and Names.
The Gendarmerie, the quarters of the Bluecoats, the fashion police. The Modiste's armed forces and guards.
