8. King’s Eye Correctional Facility
King’s Eye Correctional Facility has been infiltrated by the Covenant, however this is just the tip of the corruption that spreads through the Middle Kingdom. Rumour has it that a new advisor has popped up over at the King’s Capital and has been influencing the decisions made by the Royal Court. The King’s Eye Correctional Facility, once truly a place where real criminals would be held, has been turned into an experiment – one that focuses on transforming and re-educating people into mindless soldiers. (Similar to the ones the party has faced in Port Gardan.
Unless they wants to play out specific incidents, the rest of the time the party has in Bridgeport will be abridged. The party will need to figure out a plan to enter the King’s Eye and do whatever it is they want to do. They will need to figure out a few things.
1) An entry point: Get hired as guards? Cause trouble and get arrested? Break in?
2) A route: Find a map? Ask around? Use magic?
3) Bonus actions: Essentially, any number of things that they can use in the dungeon to counteract misfortune that might come their way. The more they uncover the mystery surrounding King’s Eye, the better their bonus actions will be.
4) An exit point: How do you escape from a high security prison? Fight your way out? Find a secret entrance? Use your allies?
Rumours
- Some Paladins have been rounding up people in the Farmlands. They say the bear the crest of a rising sun.
- There hasn’t been a trial for the convicts at the King’s Eye in over half a year. There used to be weekly public trials and people actually loved attending those.
- When do you think the Awakeners will come to Limerick? You don’t know about the Awakeners? Oh… They say these three siblings roam the realm and when you hear their words you can’t help but revolt. I heard four lords have already been killed in peasant revolts! Why isn’t the Realmsguard doing anything?
- “I warned you enough boss. You wouldn't get this much from anyone else. When the lords fall, the Awakeners shall bring us peace, but more importantly we will have justice for all.”
Secrets
- The King’s Eye Correctional Facility, once truly a place where real criminals would be held, has been turned into an experiment – one that focuses on transforming and re-educating people into mindless soldiers.
- The peasants rounded up by the Forsworn in the Farmlands have been transformed into mindless slaves in the depths of King’s Eye.
- Redbrands are present in the prison. One of them could notice that one of the guards is wearing a red piece of cloth as a wristband.
- Saga and Blaxton were sent East, because Saga’s mentor knew an attack on Taegan’s Rest was imminent. There was no avoiding it. Saga should have been more worried when she didn’t hear from the order, but the Blade was corrupting her senses.
- Phantom Thread comes from a magical shirt that’s somewhere in the King’s Eye.
- Dawnwardens draw their power from the Moon, but not everyone channels this energy the same way. Regardless, everyone needs a catalyst. For Sage this is his magical sparrow, Ghost. For Saga, it’s her Libram. The Forsworn also draw their power from the Moon, but they do this violently. It’s blood magic.
- Theldra is an Arganin and she’s probably the only member of her species outside Bregath, also known as the Northern Realm.
- King’s Eye is currently “recruiting” new guards.

- On the 10th day, a new batch of prisoners will be brought into the King’s Eye.
- Dal is planning an experiment that features the Captains Juice and Trevor on the 12th day.
