Thanks Manehi for the blog and Qaos for another enjoyable puzzle.

The time I spent on that has rather obscured my memory of the rest of the solve, but I think it was a medium-strength puzzle overall.

But words frequently appear in clues only to then be inserted into others or, as in the case of Castellan, to act as envelopes for others.
