S-Tier
The prison for the most dangerous men and women in the world, the S-Tier prison contains a special property shared only by the F-Tier. Anyone in its radius (the walls of S-Tier and the confines of F-Tier) are unable to be injured, age, or die. For this, every person that has ever been put into S-Tier of the World Cell is still in there. To find out the reason for this, check down in the history section to find out the story of how the World Cell was built around the S-Tier location.
The prisoners of S-Tier are both the strongest people in the world at the time of their imprisonment, or the most influential figures in history that went against the wishes of the World Court and were imprisoned within S-Tier for this. Either way, they were imprisoned for posing the greatest threat to the World Court's stability.
If a prisoner was to leave S-Tier after being in there for enough time (their natural lifespan) they would age all of the years they spent in the S-Tier and then, most likely, die.
History
Warbler by Jarhed
The World Cell was built on an unnamed island first discovered by the Korvians at the height of their empire. When the two Korvian Kings, Warbler and Croaker, first monarchs to rule over the Korvians, created the largest empire the world has ever seen... until that of the future Korvian King Tyrant.
With their powers, Warbler the ability to make himself immortal and Croaker the ability to make others immortal, they slaughtered scores on Udai, taking every bit of land they could into the new Korvian Empire. They found this island, isolated from the world, and built the hut that would later become F-Tier, hiding away a very important person who they could not let be caught up in their war. They were killing so indescriminately, they did not want this person to be caught in the crossfires. However, Croaker grew a conscience and abandoned the fight.
Croaker took a boat, trying to escape Warbler. He knew Warbler would chase him, but on the small boats that the Korvians had that far in the past, he knew Warbler could not bring the army. He would have to come alone. And Croaker also had a plan.
He went to the island where the person of interest was, as he knew Warbler wouldn't want to hurt this person. Croaker underestimated Warbler, as Warbler was able to get there alone and avoid even alerting the person.
Instead, he battled Croaker and defeated him. He killed Croaker, but Croaker's ability did not deactivate. The immortality it granted did not fade away, and Warbler realized the horror of what he had done. Not just to Croaker but to Udai. He resigned as King, burying Croaker's body on the island, and overtime came to realize that he too was now able to use Croaker's ability.
Where the structure known as S-Tier came from is unknown. It formed there seemingly out of nowhere. It contained most of the area where Croaker's ability lingered, preventing just anyone from gaining immortality. It was impossible to break through the walls or floor as well, meaning it was a holding cell. It also meant Croaker's corpse could not be moved.

The World Court
It is unclear when the World Court found the World Cell. It was likely before they were even officially the World Court of 13 judges. What is known is that they hired a Dwarf named Julmiir, who wielded Structure Magic. He, and his team of contractors, built the parts of the World Cell that were not S and F-Tier.
The work put into it was incredible. It is said that it had as much, if not more, care put into it than the Temples of the Gods themselves. Julmiir considered this project, the World Cell, to be his life's work. He was not wrong.
After it was completed, Julmiir thanked the World Court for the opportunity. As his payment, the World Court killed him and imprisoned his workers in the S-Tier of the prison, considering the secrets they knew of the World Cell's construction to be too dangerous to roam Totania, but they could also not risk the information being taken by a necromancer. So the four Dwarven contractors became the first S-Tier prisoners not because of strength, but because of knowledge. A mental threat to the World Court, rather than a physical one.
S-Tier Prisoners
Aside from the contractors, there are many other beings trapped within the S-Tier. Here are some of the more prominent prisoners.
Varth Dreamless
There would be a being, considered ungodly powerful, who would be imprisoned within the S-Tier of the World Cell. The first
Court Wizard of Humanity, Varth Dreamless, following the events of
A Dreamless Sleep, had finished fighting the first King, Gellark Lionrage.
Gellark had pushed Varth out of the northern part of
Elone and to the Southwest, around Stallbourne. The home of the World Court.
Varth Dreamless by Jarhed
Gellark had the World Court help in detaining Varth, and suggested they put him away somewhere. They did not tell Gellark of the World Cell, but they agreed to take care of Varth for Gellark.
Varth was placed as a control in the S-Tier. He would keep the prisoners riled up, always killing. With his Death Magic, he was a mindless killing machine with no control over his own body or power. Perfect for the World Court. A secret weapon, if they ever needed to utilize his Death Magic for their purposes.
Some say Varth is let out into other parts of the prison sometime to kill prisoners who are acting out. The World Court has denied these claims, saying that is a fabrication someone made to scare people out of going to the World Cell.
They've thanked the rumors, but have stated that if it were true that Varth got out of S-Tier, then that would be bad news for everyone, not just the prisoners.
Varth is less hostile to some people in comparison to others. He expresses curiosity towards people who are not Korvians, Goblins, or Humans, as he never saw anything else before being cursed with Death Magic.
Lendak the Freaky by Jarhed
Lendak the Freaky
The greatest creation of
Necromancy, Lendak the Freaky is an immortal Zombie with unbreakable skin and organs that are unaffected by magic.
Created by Drorthod Lormorn, former Chief of Evity, Lendak was the brainchild of a necromancer from long before Drorthod was ever conceived. An idea of a perfect creature, an unkillable weapon.
Resources were stockpiled for generations, spells prepared, rituals researched, plenty of Gods were asked for help, plenty of Devils and Demons too. But ultimately it was Drorthod Lormorn who put it all together. All the resources, the rituals, the prep. And he helped a Human woman named Lendak rise from the dead.
She did not kill anyone. However, upon her creation, she beat up everyone in Evity to the point that the entire village, Chief, and visitors too, were unconscious. It was Drorthod himself who ultimately knocked her out and handed her over to the World Court to be imprisoned.
He had watched from his lab as she had punched through the wall enough times that it broke without her skin even gaining any wear and tear at all. Not a cut, scratch, or bruise. And he was terrified of what she could do if she remained free on Totania.
Ragadin
Ragadin was a Dwarven hero famous for a horrid war crime. Despite this, he is still widely celebrated as one of the greatest Dwarves to ever live, and many mead halls make toasts to Ragadin before every drink.
Ragadin by Jarhed
For Ragadin burnt down part of the
Elven Forest. After multiple acts of aggression between Dwarves and Elves, no war had broken out for hundreds of years. It was Ragadin, though, who settled this.
Ragadin created a blue flame, known for spreading and lasting a long time, and set fire to the Elven Forest. It was said he was then riddled with arrows, but then stood back up unscathed.
For this, Ragadin was considered the inspiration for the Orange Phoenixes Dwarven Squad, and is also considered to be the first
Dwarven General, as he was the first one to ever declare war.
After a thousand years, Ragadin was getting old. He was getting tired, and had magically extended his life quite a while by using the power of a Phoenix. And that was when he was found by the World Court and arrested for his crimes.
With his power, he was instantly placed in S-Tier, and was portrayed as a villain by the World Court. Still, to Dwarves, he is an icon and a hero.
