Prison of War (WL)

Prisoner of War is a term in military and the Warring Legends games. It is a person, whether combatant or non-combatant, who is held custody by a belligerent power during or immediately after an armed conflict. Belligerents hold prisoners of war in custody for a range of legitimate and illegitimate reasons such as isolating them from enemy combatants still in the field, demonstrating military victory, punishing them, prosecuting them for war crimes, exploiting them for their labor, recruiting or even conscripting them as their own combatants, collect military and political intelligence from them or indoctrinating them in new political or religious beliefs.
