Soniere Prison was a prison for criminals and political dissidents located in the [[Kunan]] region. Built in [[Solar calendar|SY]] 347, it was considered very tough to break into, with [[Milich Oppenheimer]] describing it as impregnable. Despite this, it has been destroyed twice in the past. It was razed to the ground by the [[City-State of Jowston]] when, during an invasion, the [[Imperial Army]] attempted to use the prison as a fortification.

The prison was razed again when the thief [[Wilborn]] caused a riot to break out and the prison to be set ablaze. Over 300 prisoners and guards died in the ensuing violence and inferno. Wilborn was eventually recaptured by the Imperial Army and publicly executed. Following this, a system of several layers of iron doors was implemented. As such, the prison was able to accommodate both minor and heavy criminals.
