Eternal Shackle

This 20-foot-tall stone arch at the northern end of Misery Row was long known for the flame that had burned under it since 4325 AR, when slavery was legalized in Absalom. Following the Black Echelon Uprising in 4717 AR, when the city officially abolished slavery, the flame guttered out. This prompted celebration among those formerly enslaved, who saw it as a divine endorsement of their freedom, but it greatly angered the city’s adherents of Droskar, who claimed the flame was of major ritual importance. Since then, the clerics of the Dark Smith have been petitioning city officials to allow them to re-light and re-dedicate the flame. To the clerics’ further consternation, followers of Cayden Cailean have turned the arch into a makeshift shrine, honoring all enslaved people who died before achieving freedom by making extravagant toasts and pouring out measures of ale.
