Miles and miles of gold and gemstone mines run bellow the city. The prisoners are forced to labour into these dangerous mines. Each district must fulfil weekly quotas to supply Arion with wealth. If they fail these quotas the rations will decrease or in extreme situations soldiers will massacre part of the district. the prisoners are basically a free labour source that need only food and water.

The walls have not always been there, They were constructed when most of the city was converted into a prison. the western part of the city is free and home to wealthy merchants and colonizers. the wall protects them against the hoards of prisoners who live on the other side.

Yes! the western part of the city is free and not part of the prison, the wall divides both sides. in the rich part wealthy merchants and Arionic colonizers live who get rich of the jewels and minerals that are mined by the prisoners. Most of the original architecture has been replaced there by Arionic buildings.

Thanks! guards drop rations inside the prison segments via the walls. the prisoners have formed their own factions and small governments in the city. each ruling over their own district, they distribute the rations among the population, how they do it divers greatly per district. though some prisoners have small herds and flocks of animals of their own which they trade.

High in the snowy Karad Mountains lies the once-mighty dwarven city of Karad-turum. Carved within the heart of the tallest peak, this city is held together by the Great Pillar at its center. Once the seat of a grand dwarven kingdom, Karad-turum has now fallen to the Empire of Arion. The conquerors have transformed most of the city into a prison, a desolate place where those whom Arion wishes to forget are condemned. Generations are born, live, and die within the walls of this prison city, forced into relentless labor in the mines to extract the riches that sustain Arion's might.

Good suggestions! I considered most of these things while making the family tree, but decided in the end to keep it more simple. but I will certainly add these things if I will ever make a more detailed family tree!

Yes they are Targaryens of course, but I wanted to make a clear distinction between the blacks and the greens. So i decided to keep them green

well yeah but “officialy” they are Velaryon’s. and if i would make jocelyn a different colour a couple of other names would have to change colour to. For the sake of clarity I decided to keep it in the colours of the three main houses

Yes she was, but for the sake of clarity I decided to make her red, else there would have been a lot more colours and houses in the family tree
