Melynk, The Prison City
Melnyk, also known as the The Prison City, is the westernmost city in the Grand Duchy of Irinoff. Much of Melnyk has slowly been absorbed into the workings of the Stonevaults, a system of jails and dungeons that hold most of Irinoff's criminals. By extenison, Melynk is the heart of the Gutter Legions, Irinoff's bands of criminal soldiers.
The Wards of Melynk
The Legionaries Keep
Constructed in 768, the Legionaries Keep was originally known as Melynk Tower and was the original home of the Boyar of Melynk.
The Gutter Legions, being headquartered in Melynk were allotted a district on the northernmost parts of the city near to towards the swamplands. The Legionaries Keep serves as dual functions as a procesing center for the Rats of the Legion and as a resting spot for the Low Lords and the privileged Grey Knives whove proven themselves reliable.
The Stonevaults
Constructed over 22 years from the years of 979 to 1001, the Stonevaults were built under the orders of Grand Duke Ifan Valrak I. A sprawling underground citadel, the Stonevaults, as their name suggests, were carved into the stonework beneath the watershed of Melynk.
While under construction, the completed vaults were already used from 995 through to 1001 during the The Second Khirinan War to house Prisoners of War
