Mandatory torment of ancient and fantasy slaves. It's a giant capstan to which slaves are chained and made to drive in order to power some unseen machinery. In Fictionland, it seems, every slave-holding culture has this device. The most notable exception are the slaves held on plantations in the antebellum South of the United States. Can occasionally happen in a futuristic setting. These wheels often don't even do anything; presumably they're only used because the bad guys are just dicks. Has nothing to do with Painwheel. Examples of Wheel of Pain include:

Examples of Wheel of Pain include:
  • Conan was brought to the Wheel of Pain with the other boys from his village that were captured by Thulsa Doom's snake cult after they raided the settlement. After contributing nearly two decades, Conan was the last slave left still contributing labor to the Wheel of Pain, and he was soon bought by a large warrior named Red Hair. With no one left to operate the mill, it was shut down shortly after.
