Bastion

Bastion is the northenmost major population center within the Republic's borders. An ancient fortress turned economic center of a port city where it is often said that anything may be purchased here for the right coin.

The people of Bastion are amongst the most diverse within the world. Many have made it rich, trading with distant nation's from Bastion's docks. The great famine drove many people here in search of a chance to survive leading to an immense disparity between the wealthy and the poor.

Bastion is ruled over by Duke Corian who's family fought alongside the Founding King and was awarded lordship over the City and charged with it's protection. The Duke himself struggles to balance the power and interests of the Four Great Families of Bastion who's power at the lowest societal levels have now grown to unprecedented heights.

Bastion still serves as the gateway to the rich agriculture heartland.
