Fort Cundick
Fort Cundick is a star fortress outside of Bingham overlooking the Copper Hills and the country road from Grent to Ossa. During the war, it serves as the rallying point for the Ossan Foreign Legion on the defensive cordon outside the capital. Fort Cundick is one of many neglected forts left unmanned and outdated due to corruption in the supply chain. The walls are crumbling, the weapons are outdated, and the garrison is out of shape and undermanned. The fort is overseen by Colonel Wessen, who has done his best despite lack of support and supply.
STORY
When Kerite's Drakes land, the Ossans are pushed back out of the Copper Hills. The Ironhorn Rams stay to help refugees flee along the road, wondering why Fort Cundick garrison has not been deployed to help. Colonel Wessen sends a messenger to order the surrounding battalions to retreat into the shadow of the fort. Idrian Sepulki objects at first, but Tadeas Grappo tells him to cool down, so he agrees to fall back. They leave their artillery behind with explosive charges attached to them before retreating.
When Demir Grappo takes charge of the army and rallies them at Fort Cundick, he realizes that the fort is in a disastrous state. He orders Colonel Wessen to work with Capric Vorcien's craftsmen and laborers to reinforce the bastion, preparing for Devia Kerite's inevitable assault against it. He believes she will take Harbortown, Fort Cundick, and then Fort Alameda. However, Kerite instead goes to Fort Alameda first.
