The prison of Greywall is not that bad as such establishments go. The thick stone walls are cold, but at least they do not leak, keeping you dry even in the autumn storms. The guards are mostly professional about their job, and beatings are rare. Meals, whilst lacking in flavour and variety, are provided readily, and few inmates go hungry. However, the reasons for such a well run operation lie in the darker purpose of the prison. Despite the deceptively standard name, Greywall is an important establishment, and the soil around the prison walls testifies to this with a hidden garden of bones. For Greywall is where prisoners go to die.<br/><br/>Everyone knew this day was approaching, ever since trumpets announced the arrival of the black armoured carriage that carried the prisoner Tapura Mithalos, a dark sorcerer, and leader of the war band known as The Inheritors of Kruthla. A small group of cut throats whose lofty ambitions are as far from their reach as the cat that paws at the moon’s reflection. And today, it shall all end with a single swing of an axe, and the guards want you al to bear witness to this. As such, after a breakfast of dried bread, you are driven out of your cells at the tenth hour, and herded into the small courtyard before the wooden execution platform, currently unoccupied.<br/><br/>There is still at least half an hour before the event is scheduled, and so the prisoners are left to mill around at their own devices, prevented from leaving by locked doors and held between two lines of the prison’s guards, armed with spears and dressed in leather armour with purple and blue visible on their sleeves and leggings. One row serves to keep you at least 20ft away from the platform and another to allow the warden of the prison to observe from the back of the courtyard without being too close to the rabble he is tasked with supervising. The man, a burly specimen with experience as an army captain and a fine iron grey moustache, has insured that this is Tapura’s day and no one else’s, as only the sorcerer is scheduled to die today.
