In your opinion, which would be worse to be held prisoner in, the sky cells of The Vale or the dungeons of the Red Keep?

I'd actually rather be in the Red Keep. It's bad but it's a generic prison cell in most cases, and you're generally left alone unless you've done something, really, really bad.

The sky cells of the Eyrie are designed for psychological torture. You're afraid to sleep because what if you roll out? The floors are all slightly sloped downward, meaning it's a constant, mind-racking struggle to keep your footing. There's lots of noise from the wind and the weather can freeze you. Plenty of people commit suicide by jumping.
