Summary

The Desert Prison, also called the Prison of the Sands, is one of the eight prisons powering the Barrier, located beside Cardonal’s Desert Laboratory. It held Garadule, the Terror of the Sands and the only void the old wizards could find, whose escape or influence became a major threat to the wider containment system. The prison is associated with abnormal dragons, Blackhold movement, and attempts to break Garadule free.

Known Details

  • Ruby Eye’s prison lore said Garadule was imprisoned in the Prison of the Sands.
  • Cardonal’s desert laboratory sits next to this prison and preserves prison-control lore, portraits, and teleport-circle information.
  • Later warnings connected Garadule’s prison to abnormal dragons, Blackhold movement, and attempts to break him out.
  • User clarification suggests Merikok’s prison lies somewhere near this site, though it has not been identified as the same prison.

Open Questions

  • How much of Garadule actually remained confined there once the prison network began failing?
  • What exact connection links the prison to the nearby laboratory controls?
