Location Subregion Fortress of Dawn Subregion Header Image


Fortress of Dawn is a subregion within the region of Northern Bastion, located in the nation of Bastion, on the planet Coda, as of the year 468 LV. Fortress of Dawn is the western most subregion of Northern Bastion. It borders Academy Ruins Subregion, High Road Subregion, and Ruins of Shadowmark Subregion. The name of the mountain that the Fortress is attached to is unknown.

History

Fortress of Dawn Subregion has the most important historical location for humansthe Fortress of Dawn! This location was mostly built and developed during the Legion Era and by the Legion of Dawn members. They even built a nearby village and other structures. The Fortress was built to scare the enemies of humanity away. Unfortunately, when the Legion was disbanded, the Fortress was shut close and abandoned, with a promise of becoming open when the right person appears. In the modern day, someone was able to unlock it and enter to find what secrets the Fortress contained.

Historically, Fortress of Dawn area is considered to be the most important among all locations of Bastion. This is still believed to be true during the present, especially when the actual Fortress of Dawn itself was unlocked after nearly half a millennium.

Geography and Layout

What existed here before the cataclysm started taking over is unknown. It may never be possible to determine the real truth behind this area. The Fortress of Dawn district mostly has Legion Era architectural marvels, including their largest built structure, which is the Fortress of Dawn. There are not anzu ruins, or Scar structures here. Although there are no Post-Legion Era buildings, certain structures have anachronistic décor that make arcanists question their timeline. Few Shaper structures are found here, but they are completely inactive. There are no modern human structures here. There is no way the Legion of Dawn members would have allowed any Urgoth to build anything here. Plants and animals are very scarce because the ground is very unforgiving, usually filled with murky water and scorched ground, which is said to have happened when the Fortress was built.

The most important historical area in Bastion. This subregion includes the imposing structure of the Fortress, the Colossi, as well as training areas which would have been used by lancers learning to pilot the first javelins.

"Gather all ye free people, to the Fortress lined in gold! Gather to sleep without worry, and eat and laugh without care. And gather, like a hand once splayed, to be the fist that will strike the urgoth from this land."

—From The Volume of Tarsis by "Garred"
