Description

Near the Prison, the Tower is run by the Mercykillers and houses the Wyrm, one of a special breed of wyvern. Its venom causes delirium and is used in truth potions, and the Red Death sometimes feed the condemned to the Wyrm.

A baroque tower of stone ringed with steel and spikes, the Tower of the Wyrm was once the watchtower of a larger complex that included the Prison. Nowadays, the Tower serves as a second home to the Mercykillers, a kind of field office for Justiciars of the faction that aren’t tied up with the business of the Wardens. Its name is of course derived from the Mercykiller Wyrm that’s locked up below the Tower, whose growls and roars can be heard a block away. The truth is the Mercykillers keep the Wyrm locked and tied up deep beneath the Tower, allowing her out only when a prisoner is to be executed by the grimmest of the Red Death’s methods. Meanwhile, the upper levels of the Tower serve as a holding area for those sods awaiting trial deemed to dangerous for parole or release. The Wyrm serves as a clear reminder of what awaits them.
