Soldaris
Soldaris is a high security prison and fortress, located in the north west of Hepsut, and built into the mountainside of the Ashfall Range, nearby the west most border of the Silven Vale, a far distance away from any other settlement.
Soldaris is controlled by the Coven of Maran, with it being the largest and most secure prison on Exorsia. Soldaris houses the most dangerous and murderous convicts on the planet, many of whom were captured by the mages of the Coven of Maran themselves, while others were sent to Soldaris from nations across Exorsian Civil Wars. While the Coven claims that in Soldaris they prioritise the reform and rehabilitation of their prisoners, a majority of the convicts never leave the prison
Soldaris is primarily a mage prison, employing the most high tech and state of the art defences available to keep it's prisoner's locked away, including enchanted constructs, numerous Magical wards and Anti-Magic cells. The main bulk of Soldaris was constructed during the Age of Arcanum, a stronghold for one of the early Mageocracies, with it lying abandoned until 786 AF, when it was retrofitted into a prison for the remnants of the Undying Order, following the fall of the Malukard Empire.
While a majority of Soldaris' inmates are criminals, from unethical Mages to serial murderers, Soldaris also houses dangerous monsters and ancient constructs, who are kept locked away, either because they can't be killed, or because their study is invaluable to scientific development. Some of Soldaris' residents are also patients, those with magical illnesses or diseases that mean they are unable to live safely in public, and are instead confined to Soldaris, where the Coven scientist can attempt to treat or cure the individual, or at least allow them to live without the constant threat of killing others.

Soldaris is governed by the High Warden, who is appointed by the Coven of Maran.
Defence
Soldaris is defended by a large garrison of Enforcers, the local police force of the Coven of Maran, as well as a garrison of Prism Mages, the elite mage militia of the Coven Heads.
Soldaris also employs the most high tech and state of the art defences available to keep it's prisoner's locked away, including enchanted constructs, numerous magical wards and Anti-Magic cells.
