The new Prison Shackles sound like a great way to abduct and temporarily lock away rival Player-Characters without having to go through the trouble of enslaving them. But it seems that the Legions aren't the only factions who keep jail cells, prisons, dungeons and torture chambers on hand and ready to receive fresh captives....
So would it be possible to add the Slave Shackles to the cells of the various temples, towers, caves and whatever other places have them? And that way, the factions keeping those cells could capture whatever adventures have drawn their ire...or at least they could be encouraged to make friends with PCs in the local Legion, who could do the locking up for them. It might become a two-way street, but that's how factions build solid relationships with each other. "Loviatan! We need to borrow your torture chamber immediately." "Right this way, Legionnaires. Help yourselves."
The OOC explanations for capturing people could get interesting, though, particularly with those inter-templar rivalries. "I found this Eldath-lover trying to heal a gnome who had just earned ten lashes for his insolence. So I waited for her to finish, and now I'm taking her home with me and giving her thirty lashes (double the gnome's punishment, plus ten for being an Eldathan). Then I'll stand outside her cell and ridicule her suffering and weeping for an hour. That should teach her."
So does this idea rock or does it suck?
