Light Watch
The First And Last Light
Light Watch is the first building that every citizen of Bastille sees. Within the protective walls of the Bastille, it is mandated that all births be delivered within the maternity wing of the Light Watch. Every child is marked and imbued with a unique magical signature known as the Endowment. Each mark is unique and is said to signify the personality of the child. In addition to marking a child as a citizen of the Bastille, the mark is also necessary to open doors, get food from meal halls, and to access the light bridges that span the gaps between districts. Without the Endowment, life is impossible.
Guardians Of The Light
The Light Watch is situated on the Halo that encircles the Great Light.
Purpose / Function
Watchers Of The Portal
The Light Watch is situated on the halo shaped ring that sustains the portal to the Material Plane. The Light Watch has the power to shut down the portal if any hostile being tries to force its way through. Of course doing so would cut Bastille off from the rest of the world for all eternity.Alterations
As the population of Bastille grows, so does its need for government. The Light Watch has become the unintended seat of power. The original building, while large and austere, has since been remodeled to house dozens of political figureheads in lavish mansions that spread along the crest of the Halo.
Architecture
Light Watch is made primarily from stone forged into shape by magic and decorated with thousands upon thousands of ancient runes that are imbued with protective spells. Recently, a noticeable amount of gold has worked its way into the decorations present within the twisting halls of Light Watch.
The Great Light
"Do you question why you hunger? Do you wonder that when you are thirst, only water will satisfy? The Great Light sustains us all through the Endowment. It is as natural as air. Why do you waste your time thinking about these things?" -The Illuminated Elder, Inju Tokimoto
