Mynarth Penitentiary is one of the most notorious Varathusian prisons, located on the outskirts of the city of Mynarth. It's a maximum security installation. Grim brutalist architecture sets the mood. Draconian punishments are frequently meted out by guards and inmates alike.

Lord Zendaar is a maarvrage (species of dragon in the Fenian Galaxy). He is also a sorcerer. He made his home within the underground caverns of the Dermanshiel enclave in Northern Malvania. He doesn't reveal much of his past life. What is known about him can be read in my novel "The Unborn Child" and in my short story collection "Children of the Desert".

Wolftown Prison is a maximum security facility located on the Pale Island in Northern Viria. I took my inspiration for this prison from Alcatraz.

CULTURE & WORLD-BUILDING FROM MY FANTASY UNIVERSE

The original main purpose of Varagan death tokens was for conducting sacred rituals. They are made from specialised metal coloured and textured to resemble slate. They are embossed with spell-form runes. In more recent times, stylised replicas made from plastic resins have become popular as playing pieces for certain board games.

Virians lag behind most of the other Fenian worlds in their level of technology. Their computer systems are slow and clunky in comparison with those of the Mondians, Malvanians and Varathusians.
