The Crypts was a jail and constabulary located in the city of Zhentil Keep during the mid–14th century DR. Their name derived from the fact that all of the cells were underground.[1]
Location[]
The jail was located in south Zhentil Keep in the eastern section of the Foreign Quarter along Bridge Street and Zhent Avenue.[2][3]
Inhabitants[]
A wizard named Orisk acted as a judge here for petty offenses. Lord Orgauth himself passed judgment on serious offenses.[1]
Defenses[]
A staff of at least 24 Zhentilar occupied the Crypts at all times.[1]
History[]
The structure was originally used as a military detention center, but became the center of Zhentil Keep's city security after the city's destruction in the Year of the Banner, 1368 DR[1]
