The Black Prince's Tower

The Black Prince's Tower is located in the city-state of Picesia and used as a prison. The prison was expanded throughout the decades after the proclamation of the city-state. However, the ancient tower and underground halls go way back. According to popular myths, the Tower served as seat to the Black Prince, a mysterious and dark member of the royals that once ruled Picesia as kings and queens.

The prison nowadays occupies only a fraction of the tower and its main halls. For decades, it was decreed forbidden to wander about the tower's dark and deep underground halls or even the tower's upper levels. Both prison guards and the inmates were known to lose their minds once they lurk long enough in the Tower and to instrumentalize the myth in their favor, the successive Doges of Picesia have thrown numerous opponents, traitors and outlaws in what is known as the Oubliette; the Tower's very deep.
