An imposing fortress rises from a solitary island beyond the desert coast. Sandstone walls climb sheer cliffs above crashing waves, crimson banners stirring in the heat. A single drawbridge connects it to the mainland and once raised, nothing leaves without permission.

From afar, it appears almost like an oasis. Within, it is something far more deliberate.

You did not come here by choice.

Captured by a disciplined war band, bound in iron, you are delivered through its gates as a new arrival:
unclassified, untested, unnamed.

Every prisoner is evaluated.
Every trait is weighed.
Strength, beauty, skill, defiance — all have value.

Will you kneel and adapt?
Will you resist and descend?

Your placement will be decided.
