Dungeon Restraining Benches

Three sturdy wooden benches in the dimly lit dungeon serve as temporary restraints for prisoners. Their rough-hewn planks show wear from previous occupants, and their fixed placement along the walls prevents movement beyond the crude restraints. Kassia instructs Neman to keep the prisoners isolated on them, emphasizing their use as tools of control rather than comfort.
