A city floating in the center of a lake, Ravok is a place of dark beauty, romance and culture. Behind it all though is the presence of Rhysol, God of Evil and Betrayal. The city is controlled by The Black Sun, a religious organization devoted to Rhysol. [Lore]

[Location] The Black Hole

ImageThe Black Hole, sometimes referred to as just the Hole, is the secret, not so secret, prison of the Ebonstyfe. Many rumors have circulated to what is actually in the Black Hole, but it's entrance is known to all. Located just outside the Temple of the Black Sun is a well that descends down into the dark depths of Lake Ravok. it is said that at the bottom of the well is the secret prison of the Ebonstryfe, but none who have entered the well have ever been seen again to confirm such stories. The tortured screams of those below can often be heard by those who linger near the well.

The Black Hole was built shortly after the Vitrax was complete, and in the early years of Ravok it is said that criminals were often sentenced not to death, but to the Black Hole. Rumor has it that should someone ever escape from the Hole they would be met, and rewarded, by the Voice or even Rhysol himself.

While the well is the most well known aspect of the Black Hole, it is common knowledge that there is an actual less secret prison inside as well. This prison is said to also have an entrance inside the Vitrax itself, though rarely are prisoners allowed to see when they enter or exit the prison. It is known to have a single long hallway with barred cells on either side, with a single door leading to the Warden's office at the end. The cells are filled with grime and muck, and prisoners are given a stale loaf of bread and a cup of dirty water to live on during their stay. Most people who have been to the jail agree that there is more to the prison that one hall, however, as screams from below occasionally filter through the stone floor to fill the prisoner's sleeping ears.

The Black Hole is also filled with various other chambers used for torture, interrogation, and all other imaginable deeds. Fresh air is provided by long narrow shafts that come up at various places in the Vitrax and temple, marked with heavy iron grates. The shafts are enchanted to prevent rainwater from pouring in and drowning the prisoners, and are to narrow for a human to enter. The prison easily holds up to fifty prisoners at a time, though it is rarely that full. Most prisoners are executed or released within a few days. None of this, however, seems to connect to the well. And it is still a mystery as to what, exactly, is down in the depths of the lake.

NPC :
The Warden

ImageThe Warden of the Black Hole, known only as Ematho, is perhaps one of the least known of all the Druvin. Nobody knows when he was created, and even fewer know he even exists. Only those unfortunate enough to be sentenced to the Black Hole every meet the Warden, and even fewer survive to speak of it. Like most other Druvin, Ematho is tall and strong, standing at just over seven feet. His pale white eyes seem to bore into people's souls, and few can hold his gaze for long.

It is believed that before Ematho became the Warden he was a member of the Lazerin family and may even be the son of Lazerin himself, though these are only rumors and neither Druvin would go so far as to confirm or deny it. Ematho rarely leaves the Black Hole, though he can occasionally be found in the Temple of the Black Sun, and at times even wandering the docks. It is during these times that he is the most approachable, though few have ever mustered the courage to speak to him. Ematho is soft spoken, but cold and to the point.

Unlike other Druvin, Ematho is not a master of magic but of the sword. He carries an enchanted blade known as the Chaon, and also wields a pair of powerful Maledicted swords, the hilts of which were created from the bones of an unknown valterric.
