Saltiron Prison - Everyone's Edition
🕑 Added 2023-07-12 11:25:04 +0000 UTCI really like how this map turned out, so I'm giving away all the patron stuff to everyone. You can download it here.
Prisons have never been a great place to be, but they seem to have been particularly godawful in the days before the concept of "human rights" became a thing. The prison this map is partially based on-- the Chateau D'If-- held 3500 prisoners at one point. Now, there are differences between that place and this map, but the prison building itself is about the same size. So imagine 3500 people in that space. A guy named Céphas Carrière, who was held there in 1708, wrote about the experience. To summarize, he said it was hell and people were constantly dying, which is about what you'd expect.
Of course, he and everyone else there at the time were horrible criminals who were guilty of... *checks notes* being the wrong religion. I mean, yes, technically they were worshipping the exact same god, but they were doing it wrong and-- look, it's a problem, okay? It had to be done. Maybe. It's hard to say.
Anyway, next I'm going to make an alternate version of this map that isn't on an island. I'll probably have that done later today or tomorrow at the latest. Okay, I'll be back with that soon!
