Once an important coastal castle, the old Castle Branding long ago ceased having any military importance. The last warfare seen here was over eighty years ago during the war of succession between House Barca and House Darius.

Branderscar Prison derives its name from the ritualistic branding of all prisoners who come to await their final judgment.

Some say the old castle is alive. It certainly is verified that the castle and holdings are magical, though scholars have been unable to determine what it grants. Though higher practitioners of the arcane arts have postulated it has become a Ward Major.

Whether true or not, the other oddity is the chocker/collars every prisoner wears. It renders all magic unusable and special powers useless. Making prisoners easier to manhandle and execute.


Were anyone to ever escape, it is rumored the brand could be removed, but as it is administered for Mitra's justice, simple divine magics cannot remove it. However, none have ever escaped, so everything heard is mere conjecture.
