The Bastion

The Bastion is the easternmost outpost of Winter on the continent of Mahida. It is located within the Arien Oranti - the Sunrise Mountain Range.

General Info
The Bastion is currently ruled over by Lady Borea, the North Wind. She has been ruling over the area since the transition from Summer to Winter - roughly 70 years ago.

The primary inhabitants of the Bastion appear to be military forces of winter - mostly comprised of elves and fey-appearing humanoids with a healthy mix of half-elves. All military personnel have specialty armor enchanted by the Ladies that grants them magical resistances to cold and wintery weather. This makes them ideal combatants in the biting wind and deep snows of the mountains.

The fortress itself is built into one of the largest mountains in the range. The lower "terrace" level stands 100 feet above the glacial lake below, the second level a further 70 feet up, and the third level (including Borea's throne room) are 40 feet above that. Guard towers posted along the edge of the range are tall and hollow, which causes a sonorous tone to constantly ring through the mountains. When wind is intentionally blown through these hollows a certain way, the sound can be used as an alarm.

Half-elven blacksmiths in the Bastion create weapons with iron as a component.
