The Bone Carver's Cell

Location from acotar-frost-and-starlight by

A deep, ancient prison chamber beneath the mountain where a death-dealing entity older than the courts carves bones and waits.

This is no ordinary prison. It is a chamber of deliberate isolation, buried deep beneath the mountain that once held Amarantha's court, far from light and warmth. The Bone Carver—an entity that predates the High Fae, perhaps even the courts themselves—dwells here by choice or by binding, and the walls remember every scream that ever echoed through the stone above.

Appearance

The cell is a rough-hewn cavern of black stone, lit only by a faint, cold luminescence that seems to seep from the walls themselves. The floor is scattered with bones—some animal, some fae—carved into intricate shapes: spirals, faces, scenes of slaughter and sorrow. In the center sits a figure, gaunt and pale, with fingers that never stop moving over a fresh femur, etching lines that tell stories only the dead remember.
