Wheloon

Wheloon, as seen on DDO, is a prison city in Cormyr. The city is now magically walled prison and infested by Shar worshipers, along with other criminals and even innocent natives. This setting based is on post-Spellplague era of 4th edition Forgotten Realms.

See FR wiki entry for more details and the city's entire history in PnP settings.

In terms of "prison city" concept, the exact same idea was seen before in John Carpenter’s 1981 cult classic "Escape from New York" ( Wikipedia ) and 1996 remake "Escape from L.A." ( Wikipedia ). In fact developers have put in references to the film (see Comedic References in DDO for details **work in progress**).
