"Tell me," began Mordain as he approached a Seeker, "some time ago I asked that Marr dispatch a strong number of Seekers to this place. Has there been any word?"

The Seeker shook his head. "No, my Lord."

Mordain sighed. Perhaps Marr had not received the letter. Perhaps something had happened to the boy. Perhaps he had been wrong to entrust him to the monks...

"It really is amazing; she killed Kelan Wealer, not that I am complaining, but then the order welcomed her as their new leader. It makes one wonder if I were to ram a blade down her throat, would the monks then follow my commands?" - Mordain Thaendil.

Nathaniel said to the spell sphere, and indirectly to the mage on the other side "Once you've finished spreading a few seeds of misinformation let me know. Also, if you hear reports of a winged woman or a blue-skinned winged demon man anywhere I'd like to know about it."

The young woman replied "Of course, if I hear something I'll contact you. Good luck and Aracen be with you."

Nathaniel nodded but said nothing as he ended the connection provided by the spell sphere. That was the last of them, and now all they could do was see if things would work out.

Mordain still paced the room, thinking over everything that had transpired in Weissland over the past year. The Dark Lord had been slain, but not without taking a heavy toll on Weissland's people. Drathmor had left a scar upon the land that would very probably never heal. Mordus, the treacherous bastard, had slain Shaellana. Mordain himself had been forced into exile, which was thankfully now at an end. And now another threat was beginning to loom, one that seemed to be even darker than Drathmor. Knowledge was power... He would need to learn all he could about this 'Krodalis', but in truth he had never come across a single scripture with so much as a mention of the shade's name.

Nathaniel sighed and walked back over to the table he had been at earlier. Sitting down he finished his mug of ale and started to think. All that could really be done now was wait, to see if the enemy would make a move they could counter.

Mordain walked back over to the table where Nathaniel sat. "It is done?"

"Good." He began pacing around the table, still looking around at all the other doors. "I suppose there is nothing to do now but wait."

Nathaniel said "Indeed."

Looking around he said "Even from the little I've seen of this place so far it seems huge. I've seen the ordinary prisons in some of Weissland. Perhaps, my lord, you could provide a brief tour of the facility, as I would be very interested in knowing more about how the containment works here... if it is not a breach of protocol of course."

He mused "During my travels I also inspected prisons and cells from a different point of view, as it seems not all lands are as tolerant of magic-users as Weissland is. Plus I have a bad habit of, how shall we say, disagreeing with the policies of some rulers. I tend to get on the bad side of people rather quickly."

"Very well, Nathaniel." said Mordain, gesturing towards one of the many doors in the hall and making for it. He waited for Nathaniel to fall into pace before continuing. "You are still a member of the Seeker Order, which gives you the right to see this place. Only myself, the Seekers, the King and the Royal Guard know of it. Everyone else is kept in the dark. Many would not take kindly to such a place as this. And you will find all sorts here, but mostly, this is a prison for the worst of the worst, and traitors who do not deserve the release of death."

He stopped just as they reached the door and leaned over to a Seeker. "Watch him." he said as he gestured towards his father.

Nathaniel followed. He responded "Yes, I must admit I had never thought about that. I have always believed that traitors simply did not deserve to live, which might have been short-sighted given our greatest enemy is necromancy. Death might aid them, depending on what kind of traitor they are and if the enemy values them enough to raise as anything other than undead fodder."

Mordain looked over at him before they kept walking, saying, "Some are too dangerous to die." With Nathaniel in toe, he began walking down a corridor that carried them deeper into the mountain. Large, metal doors were dotted here-and-there, with no two being side by side, but rather all were separated by a good distance. "You will find prisoners in those cells. One to a cell, and each cell is kept apart from the rest. Don't want to risk the scum communicating with each other."

Nathaniel followed saying "Indeed, a flaw of other prisons. I was able to effect a prison break by communicating with the occupant of the next cell and the message being passed along. Are the prisoners also contained via those magic shackles you used in Asulien?"

"Any with magic abilities are confined to cells guarded by runes, most of which I put there myself. The runes negate the use of magic. In some extreme cases, yes, prisoners will be bound by the chains as well as being confined to such cells." They continued their decent, nearing a black door. "On the other side of this door you will find one of the many interrogation chambers of this facility. As I'm sure you would gather, traitors need to be convinced to give up whatever information they hold. Few will do so willingly."

Nathaniel said darkly "Yes of course, my Lord. I have experienced the skills of Seekers in the area of interrogation."

"I have not forgotten." said Mordain coldly as he opened the door and stepped through.

The interrogation chamber was huge, with chains, cages, racks and all sorts of torture implements lining the walls. Some cages had been constructed into the floor and they walked over the top, Mordain ignoring the pathetic snivelling from those trapped below. Dotted around the room were stone boxes, or small rooms, which were used for more... private interrogations. Sometimes however it worked better to let the victim watch others suffer prior to their own interrogation. Seekers moved around the room, cleaning weapons or making ready to use them again.

"Any who do know of this place, Nathaniel, pray to never end up in this room."

Small gutters crossed over the floor and eventually led to drains; they were to collect the blood and flowed from the prisoners. Mordain looked around again, remembering the last time he had walked through the room. A long time, indeed. The ceiling was tall and the room by no means had only one level. It was almost a maze within itself.

Nathaniel walked through the room impassively after Mordain. He said "It seems like you've found quite a few ways to maximise the use of space."

"There was a time when this prison was swelling in population, shortly after the Civil War when my cousin first took power. There were countless traitors to root out. We were forced to modify this place." He looked around. "Over time, however, the numbers here have gone down. That is not to say, however, that this place is of any less importance."

Nathaniel nodded. The civil war was before his time but Drakkon knew some about that period of history.

Mordain led them back out of the room and wound around some more corridors, until they found themselves at the top of another staircase that descended even further into the depths of the mountain. Yet the corridor itself seemed... different. A foul energy surrounded it. The shadows seemed to dance around the flickering light cast by the torches along the walls.

"Down there we hold two of the most dangerous creatures I have ever encountered. Their cells are surrounded by runes, and bolted with the heaviest doors we could provide. But even that can sometimes prove insufficient to contain their power... Guards are assigned to them for no more than a day at a time. Any longer spent down there and they risk a descent into madness." He sighed, remembering events passed. "It has happened before, and I expect it will happen again."
