Bastion
The military station of Bastion is one of the few points in Vanreth with little to no loyalty to any house. Supplied by taxes from Anchorpoint, Bastion is a massive fortress keep on the edge of the Nightlands - at the point easiest for crossing. Functioning as gatehouse, Bastion is built for one job: to keep things out. Manned by volunteers from armies throughout Vanreth (or the drafted in times of major raids). Bastion is a huge stone structure with a small settlement in its walls keeping it supplied. These are simple places. Bars, tailors, small shops, and other businesses to keep the troops functioning and the morale steady. Besides these few instutions, Bastion is mostly barracks. The majority of structures are housing or armories, things to support the military that man the fort.
The Borderlands Rangers are Bastions pride and glory, veteran troops that have sworn in blood to never again journey westward. Many are exiles, criminals, or disgraced soldiers looking to make new lives. They command much of the general troops supplied to man the fort, and lead parties into the Cinderwood to dispatch threats before they emerge. These rangers are each branded with a special tattoo that allows the Warden of Bastion to see where they are on a map.
House Bladeguard mans Bastion, and has since its construction by House Titanstar. Bladeguard is sworn to commit no arms to any war, in return for the promise to be left out of any conflict that arises within the kingdom.
