The Imperial Dungeons, also known as the Imperial Sewers, is a sewer network located at an unknown location in the Imperial City.

Description

"The passages here were once used by Tharn to hide treasures he had stolen from the Emperor's coffers."

―Ria Silmane

The sewers were an non-extensive one-floor network. Despite being labeled as the "Imperial Dungeons," there's only one holding cell, the rest of the location more fitting a sewer system.

The sewers were infested with "vile rats and goblins," among other creatures which inhabit the small passages and rooms. Many of the halls contained valuables, leading from gold to armor and weapons, which Jagar Tharn stole from the emperor's coffers before usurping the Imperial throne.

Not well maintained, the sewers' mass infestation of animals made them dangerous. Many niches were carved within the walls, acting as safe haven from the fetid breezes and animals. Green moss and slime protruded from the walls, and drippings of water and other material leaked through the ceilings and floors.

History

During the early stages of the Imperial Simulacrum, the Eternal Champion was imprisoned by Tharn after receiving a blow to the back of the head from one of his servants. The Champion eventually escaped with the assistance of Ria Silmane.
