This sounds awesome, and I can see this being a very caster/Magic User centric setting, leading to a very interesting play style. Maybe any melee/martial characters distrust the casters... This is already giving me ideas.
The best settings leave the Gms with a million ideas and a million more unanswered questions. My mind is spinning. This would be such a fun setting! The Scepter would be such a fun mega-dungeon to work with.
I like the idea of a motivation built in and a stack of unknowns. I've seen a few detailed settings which are great but you're left with "it's fun to explore" as the main motivation.
Some wizards also kept some people as servants in their towers, and if the wizard didn't survive the fumble because of it backfiring, those could be the ones that are starting to rise the population.
Perhaps selective breeding of Igor and Renfield -types as subservient humans of 3rd or 4th generations, while wizards drink longevity potions and ponder upon their clairvoyance orbs.

This absolutely captured my imagination, can't wait to hear more!
Other than the wizards teleporting, I see no reason to make this setting just for D&D. It sounds fun for a lot of other games.

I imagine playing as new arrivals would be vastly different from those whose ancestors have been living in the prison plane for generations.
Possibly! The question is how interested wizards are in reproducing.
