The Chuluu Korikh

Location from The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang

The stone prison — where shamans too powerful to kill and too dangerous to free are sealed alive in rock, cut off from their gods, preserved in a living death that the Empire calls necessary and Rin calls monstrous.

Also known as: Chuluu Korikh, The Stone Prison, The Korikh

What They Know

• A system of stone monoliths that seal shamans alive — cutting them off from the Pantheon and their gods while preserving them in suspended animation
• Created by the Trifecta (Daji, Riga, Tearza) as a containment system for shamans too powerful to control
• Sealed shamans are conscious but unable to move, channel, or die — effectively a living death
• Rin released imprisoned shamans (including Feylen) as weapons during the war — gaining powerful but unstable allies
• The Korikh system is the foundation of the Empire's shamanic control policy — without it, powerful shamans would be uncontainable
• Located in a remote, desolate area — the concentration of sealed power has drained life from the surrounding landscape
