Location Overlook Academy Ruins Overlook Header Image


Academy Ruins Overlook is built as an overlook structure, which is a special type of landmark, located in the nation of Bastion, on the planet Coda, as of the year 468 LV.

History

Overlooks are a traditional concept from ancient times when Archives hadn’t been invented, until 203 LV. Freelancers would leave a written account of what had been observed in the vicinity to foreshadow other lancers of the perils or wonders of the area. They would also write their stories in them. Some overlooks can also reveal the cataclysmic changes that take place in the vicinity with the aid of Survey Beacons. There may be a gateway connection attached to them which allows any lancer to see the changes around the environment.

In 468 LV, the Freelancer visits an overlook in each Subregion of Northern Bastion to witness the accounts of past times. Then, the Freelancer is treated to a beautiful vista of the location that overlooks the overlook. Academy Ruins Overlook was one of the ten overlooks visited.
