Party pit

A party pit is a deep cylindrical shaft that is used for punishment and as a torture device by Emperor Vralius. There are a number of them built into the courtyard at Victurus Palace.
A victim is tossed into the pit where one of two fates awaits them:
#If the pit is empty or hasn't been used much, the victim dies from the fall.
#If a considerable number of bodies line the floor, the victim survives the fall but dies from starvation, thirst, or illness.
==Trivia==
*Devitt Camfry, an advisor to Vralius, was thrown into a party pit in Outrider, only to be fished out moments later when the emperor changed his mind.
