Black Tome Pages 3: Fornans Gaol
 |
All those with the spark of magic within them fear the Kin of the Burning Night¸ an order of divine fanatics sworn to the eradication of arcane spellcasters¸ deeming them ‘tainted' by prolonged contact with the Weave. For the last three decades¸ the Kin have dedicated themselves to the culling of mages - executing those they can¸ and shipping those that they cannot to Fornan's Gaol¸ the highest security prison in the realm. Secreted high atop the Jutgarde Peaks¸ hidden amidst the sharp¸ jagged rocks¸ the jail now holds some of the strongest spellcasters in the world. The jailers¸ commanded by the cruel Warden Renault¸ keep the prisoners in a constant state of deprivation¸ cut off completely from their magic. It's said that those taken there are never seen again¸ and none save the Kin dare enter the walls freely. But for some¸ the rewards outweigh the risks. To rescue a friend¸ to get revenge on a corrupt order¸ or to plunder the loot within its walls¸ what guides you to the jaws of Fornan's Gaol? Cover art: Prison Scene by Francesco Piranesi
