===The Arteries===
aka. A Prison of Pain, It’s one of the darkest pits on Aryth. It’s a nest of vile and tortuous hosts, a horrible den of suffering, the lair of the greatest anguish a living mage can know. It’s perhaps the most precious secret of the Shadow’s campaign in the north. 

Some mages carried off for execution by legates are spared the mercy of death and driven in slave trains instead to the Arteries for torture, examination, and worse. To the outside world they are dead. No prisoner brought to the Arteries has ever left. None ever will.

A Reservoir of Power, the Arteries are an energy reserve untouchable by Aradil and her followers. When the final days come and Izrador’s ultimate goal is met, the cave master hopes the Arteries will be the great ceremonial gift—the final deliverance of arcane power that returns Izrador to his seat in the celestial realm.

The entrance to the Arteries is some 100-200 miles west of Highwall on the north coast of the Sea of Pelluria. At the edge of a wide shore of sharp rocks and water-worn stones, where the Northlands break off into the sea, is a towering span of cliffs. From the sea they appear as wrinkled stone, like the cloth of the earth was wadded up on shore. Cut into this folded stone is a recessed spot of rock, unadorned except for four stone columns and three arched openings.
