Tarsis Bypass is a district of High Road Subregion found within the region of Northern Bastion, located in the nation of Bastion, on the planet Coda, as of the year 468 LV.
History
According to legends and myths, this tunnel was the home of the anzu called Ezurite which hunted another anzu called the Eddian to extinction.
Tarsis Bypass was a tunnel under the old Legion Watchtower. In the early Legion Victorious era, Liatrelle is said to have built the final resting place of Legionnaire Yvenia to protect the watchtower and the people who pass this location.
Several centuries ago, when Fort Tarsis was being constructed, Tarsis Bypass was used to transport materials. Later, it was abandoned for a long time, until 342 LV, where the electromagnetic field produced by nesting Tesilars caused interference in javelins and striders. This nest was later cleared, and bi-weekly patrols were conducted here to ensure no more creatures built their homes inside the tunnel.
In 468 LV, the Freelancer, when doing What Freelancers Do best—helping the people—saved the life of Rythe from Steel Cutter. In the process of finding the final resting place of the Javelin of Dawn, the Freelancer had to locate the Tomb of Legionnaire Yvenia to greet her. After scouring through the clues found by Princess Zhim and with the help of Owen Corley, the Freelancer finds the toms and greets this Guardian of Dawn.
