Hanging Prison of Haark

The first Council of Seven hired a deranged, but clever Aurumel architect to design a prison on Haark. Unwilling to cede livable ground to those who would act against the best interest of the shard’s inhabitants, the council gave the underside of Haark to the architect Pelagius Karamag, which he transformed into one of the cruelest and most inescapable jails anywhere in the world. Consisting of little more than hanging iron cages connected by gangplanks and suspension bridges, the cells are unnervingly tossed by strong winds, driving the inmates mad with fear and uncertainty. The guards, known as Chain Walkers, wear heavy iron boots that anchor them to the platform and give them a distinct shuffle of a walk that can barely be discerned over the ever-present whipping winds.

It's main entrance in the Golden Tower Fortress is guarded by elite City Watch members and cannot be accessed without approval from a member of the Council of Seven, or the Captain of the City Watch, although there are rumors of a secret entrance.

While it is possible to leave the Hanging Prison alive, only one has ever escaped without legal authority...Shatu Hak.
