Brine

The Brine is an imposing stone prison house located in the Puddles district in Absalom. Lady Seichya of House Tevineg serves as the prison's head warden.

Ever since the regular flooding of the district, The Brine has ensured a slow but certain death for the criminals within. The holding pens is usually soaked with at least a foot of water from the flooding, but also raw sewage washes in from time to time, typically resulting in outbreaks of filth fever and general sickness.

Although the guards use elevated catwalks to stay out of the muck, the prisoners below frequently are forced to stand, sit and sleep in the foul waters.

Especially important individuals are sent to Black Whale prison.

The Salt Cartel fills its stocks of slaves from prisoners fraudulently collected from the Brine.
