King Leoric's Torture Chambers is a dungeon area within Diablo III that was first seen in the Blizzcon 2010 demo. It was more of a jail-like area than a torture chamber, filled with cells housing the remains of the loyal servants of Queen Alyssa and presumably any others who stood against King Leoric.

Theme/Style

The level has a bluish-tinge color scheme, somewhat different from the greenish vibe of the Forgotten Tombs beneath the Tristram Cathedral (seen in earlier gameplay videos and screenshots). The area houses a series of jail cells, replete with destructible doors.

Quests

In the Blizzcon 2010 demo, Queen Alyssa greeted players with a short dialogue once they entered King Leoric's Torture Chambers.

Queen Alyssa: “Finally, someone to help my people. Guilty of nothing, save being loyal to me, they were cursed to be held in these cells beyond their natural lives. My blessing will allow you to free them from their long torment.”

With the Queen's blessing, the player proceeded to free the tormented souls. Once all six prisoners' souls were freed, the player was directed to the center of the map where they faced the Warden.
