Palace Dungeons

Lower prison levels of Kredik Shaw with barred cage-cells, stone walls and torture rooms. Used to hold captives of the Lord Ruler.

The Palace Dungeons beneath Kredik Shaw begin as the Lord Ruler’s private oubliette, a warren of iron-barred cages and torture chambers where dissidents and skaa rebels vanish without trace. After the Catacendre, the same subterranean complex is repurposed by Elend’s fledgling government as a holding facility for captured Steel Inquisitors and later for political prisoners during the siege of Luthadel. By the time of Wax and Wayne, the dungeons have been sealed, their residual atium geodes and Ruin-tainted Pits of Hathsin still radiating faint pulses of Investiture that occasionally lure treasure hunters and hemalurgic scholars.
