The Prison Islands

The twin cities of Ruach and Ard Bo lie on an island just off of the coast of Tre'Volos. A more inhospitable place could not be found. Surrounded with deep, almost impenetrable, jungle growth, man-eating plants, vermin infested swamps, volcanoes, and worse, this island is used to exile only the most hardened and despicable criminals and monsters. Rivers teeming with something like Piranha, musty mines infested with plague carrying insects — these are just two of the scenic vistas of Ruach and Ard Bo. Ruach is the prison for humanoid creatures, including humans, and Ard Bo is for more inhuman creatures. Both have large populations of police and constables. Exile to Ruach and/or Ard Bo is considered a death sentence. There have been no known successful escapes.
