Obsidian Prison
The Obsidian Prison is a terrifying underground dungeon located beneath the Citadel in Shalarag. Its lower levels are reserved for special prisoners, held in place by floating obsidian pillars bound with chains.
Overview
A multi-level prison complex carved beneath Shalarag’s Citadel. The upper levels function as a standard prison, while the lower levels are something far more sinister — a cold, oppressive space where the air tastes of iron and blood, and prisoners are chained to floating obsidian pillars.
