They instead laid on the ground, being pulled and shoved whenever he moved his arm, rattling against the ground eerily. 

Beyond the mist and darkness, one of the Pillars was now broken in half, revealing its contents.

The chains were actually part of a greater metal structure that ran within each of the Pillars, like the support beams inside a concrete block, its skeleton.

And not counting whatever strange magic was used to reinforce these materials, if not for the lack of maintenance, Dale would have had no chance of escaping.
