point of prisioners?

[conanthelibrarian]

So I upgraded my dungeon.  Found eorn in catacombs and put him in dungeon.

 

  I now have the option to realease him, or have the jailer flog him.

 

Talking to him gets no where.  What is the point of having him?  OR any other prisoners for that matter?

 

Thanks.

 

Also, just got a message that a Dunry Psion had arrived looking for employment.  where would i find him in the stronghold?

Roleplaying I suppose, it would be neat if you could end up recruiting them or something.

You can sell them for money

Well, more accurately, you can get events where animancer/distant relative/slaver wants to pay for them

 

And visitors who you can hire appear in hireling menu

Psion is supposed to be at the stronghold for me as well, but I can't find him, and he's not a hireling.

They aren't actually there - you're either to assign an available (benched) NPC to escort them away, pay them to go away, or you can hire them to defend the place while they're there - if you have barracks.  Now, if you do have a barracks, and hire them, they'll appear somewhere around.

The "story" companions you meet will be near the bed where you rest in the Stronghold. Not sure about created companions.
