The Tideguard Fortress

The Tideguard Fortress is a heavily fortified stronghold located at the entrance to the Ebon Harbor in Ziracos, serving as the base of operations for the Tideguard, the elite coastal defense force of Sirokosa. Built upon a rocky outcrop that juts into the sea, the fortress is strategically positioned to guard against both maritime threats and potential invasions from the coast. Its towering walls are made from reinforced black vulcanic rock and sea-forged steel, designed to withstand the constant assault of wind and waves.

The fortress houses the Tideguard Command, where strategic operations are planned and carried out by the Tideguard Lord-Captain Dumaire Furias and their officers. The command center is equipped with magical surveillance, allowing the defenders to monitor ships and seafaring activities far beyond the horizon. The Tideguard are renowned for their expertise in naval combat, storm magic, and coastal defense, using a combination of warships, sea magic, and arcane barriers to protect the harbor and surrounding waters.

In addition to its military function, the Tideguard Fortress serves as a symbol of Sirokosa’s strength and resilience in the face of the ever-present dangers of the sea. It is also a training ground for the next generation of defenders, where new recruits are honed in the ways of naval warfare and maritime magic.
The fortress is a constant reminder of the city's vigilance and its unwavering dedication to protect The Eternal Tide and the prosperity of Ziracos.
