Weight of Measure

Where time is alloted to those who have been weighed and meted for their crime.

Weight of Measure is Starlit City's lockup located on another island in the sky in the Faeding Vales region.

Purpose / Function

To those who have bad form in Starlit City they are aprehended and transported to Weight of Measure, or as slang, the cage. These will spend their justified time in a cell until their end date. Said end date can be extended due to bad behaviour, deeming them a danger to the world. If they cannot reform in a positive light, they are shipped off to yet another prison. However, this prison is considered hell as the survivability rate is extermely low. It is better for the inmates to comply than go to the grave.

Design

Each room is shaped in a circle. Professionals say it is better for their mind and makes the room appear larger than it is. These cells are made of reinforced stone of a lightly coloured grey.

Entries

There are no real windows. Only projections that have the appearance of a window which exhibits seasons. The only door upon exiting and entering appears and disappears soley when security gaurds are ready for the inmates to come and go at appropriate schedules.

Alterations

This building also serves as a place of rehabilitation, and not just to serve time for crimes. This proved very useful to many inmates and allowed them to cleanse one's mind, so to speak, and prepare them for the world once again.

Architecture

Built upon multiple foundations house many cells for inmates. Every second foundation will have its rehabiliation centre where inmates can choose to re-learn how to live in society.

Example of Architecture

  • Floor 1: House of Cells
  • Floor 2: Rehabilitation
Repeat of 1 and 2 like a tower.

Environmental Effects
Each inmate wears a band around their neck not only to signify their imprisonment, but also to negate their spirit magic.
