Full Record
The Tower of Chains is a fortress of black stone in Arkest that serves as the city's official bounty house and prison. Bounties are posted, issued, and collected here under the authority of Captain-General Vargan. The tower is a hub for bounty hunters, mercenaries, and enforcers — the central clearinghouse for the violent economy that keeps Arkest functioning.
Kane collects bounties at the Tower of Chains at the beginning of The Chronicles of Kane, establishing it as a regular stop in his mercenary routine.
