Purpose
Ammunition for intimidation and summary execution, emphasizing Irongron’s willingness to escalate from political maneuvering to lethal force if mocked or defied.

Marks Irongron’s descent into tyranny—bolts on display are both practical weapons and symbolic talons, signaling his rejection of ransom talks and embrace of prolonged torture. Their mere presence communicates a new calculus to prisoners and allies alike, replacing earlier medieval posturing with industrial-age brutality.
