Dreadhold

Dreadhold is a prison island off the coast of Cape Far in the Lhazaar Principalities. First established by Karrn the Conqueror as a place for exiling overthrown rulers and aristocrats, it was converted by the early Galifar kings into an almost inescapable prison for those too important to execute and too dangerous to be left free.
Today, the prison houses the most dangerous criminals from across the continent, including numerous war prisoners sent here for wartime atrocities. These prisoners are watched by dwarves in service of House Kundarak. While most dwarves consider a tour of duty at Dreadhold to be equivalent to exile, the bearers of the Mark of Warding make sure the prison stays secure despite the drabness of the place. Rumors persist that an important prisoner from Karrnath is imprisoned here, and that the dwarves use the prisoners to mine Khyber dragon shards from deep chasms beneath the island.
