Under the Mountain

Location from acotar-mist-and-fury by

Amarantha's prison and torture chamber where the High Lords were enslaved for 49 years.

Under the Mountain is a nightmare carved into the living rock, a place where the High Fae of Prythian were held captive and broken by Amarantha's cruel whims. It is a labyrinth of cells, torture chambers, and grand halls where she held her twisted revels, a monument to her hatred and her hunger for power. To have been here is to carry a scar that never fully heals, a memory of darkness that clings to the soul.

Appearance

A vast, hollowed-out cavern beneath the mountain, lit by guttering torches that cast long, dancing shadows on walls slick with damp and blood. The air is thick with the stench of iron, rot, and fear, and the constant drip of water echoes like a heartbeat through the stone corridors.

Also known as: Amarantha's Lair, The Mountain's Heart, The Pit, The Dungeon Beneath the Mountain
