The Plaza of Punishment is a plaza in Astapor. It is where new slaves taken into Astapor are first brought, so they can see slaves who have been punished or executed.[1]
Layout
[edit]The Plaza of Punishment, larger than the Plaza of Pride, fronts on the main gate of Astapor. The Good Masters display the bodies of rebellious slaves on a wooden platform to intimidate new slaves when they first arrive in the city.[1]
