The Abyss Palace

Deep in the bowels of the Earth below the Capital city Crocus, the nations greatest secret is kept.  The Abyss Palace is a Prison Fortress, protected and cared for by the Garou Knights, a centuries old order of Knights that have taken it upon themselves to safe keep all of the Nations most Notorious villains and their creations.  The Abyss Palace is an inescapable prison, and an impenetrable fortress, built in to a massive stone column within a miles long crevice in the earth.  The Crevice is illuminated by Magical light, generated by runes painted upon stone slabs throughout, which creates the illusion of a Horizon within it.  The Abyss Palace is connected directly to Mercurius by a single, collapsible staircase from the Prison and also a long shaft connected to several trap doors throughout Mercurius that drops intruders of the Royal Palace directly in to a Labyrinth like cavern that surrounds the Abyss Palace, in which the intruders will roam until the Garou Knights see fit to execute or arrest them.    

Throughout the entirety of the Crevice, there are tunnels and pathways that create an unsolvable maze of stone, with traps and obstacles only the Garou Knights know their way around by way of ancient scribbles and hieroglyphs on the walls that they're capable of understanding.  Farther from the Palace, is a network of magical tunnels that have exits in all of Fiore's regions.  Within these magical tunnels, though you may only walk a few steps, you can travel from one end of Fiore to the other, so long as you know the way.  If one is not careful, he or she may end up wandering the tunnels for all eternity...


The Den Pool is a mystical place the Garou Knights hold sacred. It is a place for ceremony, a safe Haven and a place of healing. The water that enters the Den possesses magical healing properties that when imbibed, can heal all ailments and wounds. Aside from that, it acts as a central Hub for the tunnel network that travels throughout Fiore. When ready to leave the Den Pool, a door will present itself with runes inscribed all around it. When touched they begin to glow. These are coordinates that will change the destination and lead you through a cave that will bring you to your desired location. All tunnels lead to the Den Pool, and from it you can go anywhere as long as you know the Rune combination. The Den Pool is one of the many examples of precursor technology the Knights have adopted. It is not fully understood yet, however it has been found to be very useful over the centuries.
