Shadow Hand
Fort Zambrano, Panatha
Misty clouds hung ominously above the high walls of the infamous Fort Zambrano, known more commonly as Kaine's Wall by the native born of Panatha. Fort Zambrano was a massive military complex strategically placed across the largest and safest pass into the Iron Mountains. The only known path large enough to weave an amassed force through into the tall mountain chain. Even though the misty mountains and cloudy skies one could still see the massive citadel of Vain Hollow rise taller than any mountain in its vicinity, the realm of the God-King. It was Fort Zambrano that regulated any and all traffic through to the Hollow as well as acting as the headquarters of the legendary Blackblade Guard, the Butcher-King's personal army.
The entire complex was filled with these heavily armed, black armored troopers who lined the walls, stood on towers and patrolled at the walls base especially the gate. From a glance one might wonder how so many men lived, worked, and trained here with no visible camp in sight on the outside of the wall. Unbeknownst to them a portion of the base was behind while a vast portion of it was in the underground portion that held the vast barracks, armory's, command centers, prison cells, medical centers, training rooms, storage rooms, and warehouses crucial to the operation of the ten thousand strong legion. Traffic through was heavily regulated and everyone screened, lines could often be seen as people gathered to eagerly move on, a myriad of people from zealous worshipers to wealthy aristocrats seeking favor.
But on this day traffic was slowed to a standstill by order of the God-Prince when a prisoner detained by the guard of Canthar, Panatha's capital city was transferred here. Normally something like this never happened and prisoners were kept in the prisons of Canthar, but this was different. An immigrant to Panatha, one [member="Atlas Velarian"] was detained following a violent encounter with a group of native born that ultimately resulted in two dead. But when the authorities came they saw what could only be described as a pale skinned giant awaiting them. The ensuing violent encounter in a normal setting would've resulted in an immediate execution for resisting and conducting lethal force against the God-Kings enforcers.
But this time squads descended upon the violent and angry giant eventually subduing him locking around his neck a force nullification collar to temporarily cut his powers, and heavily shackled. This violent force wielding offender was brought to Fort Zambrano under orders from the God-Prince himself. Atlas found himself locked in a bare cell once the black veil over his face was uncovered his arms and legs unshackled, but the collar remained secure on his neck and one even his strength couldn't rip off. A shimmering blue curtain went up then sealing him inside its walls.
As the muffled boots of the black armored soldiers disappeared silence enveloped him.
