Dreadhold is a prison island off the northern coast of Cape Far in the Lhazaar Principalities . [1] The island is a manifest zone to Lamannia . [2]
History
Dreadhold was created on the orders of Karrn the Conqueror of Karrnath , so that he might send overthrown rulers and out-of-favor courtiers into exile there. [1]
However, the first kings of Galifar had it converted into an almost inescapable prison for people too dangerous to set free but too important to just execute. [1]
Today, the prison houses the most dangerous criminals of Khorvaire . Several are here for atrocities committed during the Last War . [1]
Staff
These prisoners are watched by dwarves in service of House Kundarak . The prison is bleak and many of the dwarves here think of it as exile, but regardless those with the Mark of Warding ensure its security. [1]
Rumors
An important prisoner from Karrnath is rumored to be imprisoned in Dreadhold. [1]
It's also been claimed that the dwarf warders force the prisoners to mine Khyber dragonshards from chasms deep under the island. [1]
