And I do not mean the noble lady turned to void magic story.

I mean the GIANT prison cells in the basement. These things are huge, have enormous doors, and the bars are wide enough apart a Roegadyn could fit between them. In one of the cells is an oversized table with chopped wood on top of it the size of full grown men.

At some point in Gridania's history were they at war with giants or some other excessively large species?
