*Spoilers* The Torture Victims

[sagdashin]

After you saw those trees fall from a .. brute? in the woods when entering the inner studies, do you really think some of the kings men or millitia will try, or survive during the hunt for Alexander?

the shadow locked the castle at the start of the game if you tried to go out too. Alexander himself is under the castle in the inner sanctum, it's paincake to get to him

(your brain becomes braincake if you go through the castle, just look at me after finishing the game..).
