Light's Bastion

Originally a fortress that served as a haven for the people of Southsea against the sea goblins several hundred years ago, Light's Bastion has since been converted into a temple in worship of Avion, who the people believe brought them through the war.
After many long battles and dangerous sieges, one final, grueling battle took place at this fort near the end of the war. The situation seemed dire, and the sea goblins endless, when a devout champion of Avion led a final charge out of the fort gates to strike down the goblin leader. It was said to be a seemingly impossible feat, and many, the campion included, said his survival and success were only possible through the protection of Avion.
As a result, after the war was fully ended and the area stabilized, the fort was converted into a temple in worship of Avion, in reverence for his aid. The conversion was led by the champion himself, who retired to serve as a clergy member after the war's end.
While it has much the same structure as before, the interior of the fort was completely renovated. The meeting hall was converted into the central place of worship, and many of the storehouses and barracks were made into quarters for the clergy, or spaces the could provide to weary travellers in need.
Light's Bastion is now known as one of the greatest of Avion's churches, and has a reputation for the many deeds that have been done there to help the poor, sick, or otherwise needy for many miles around.

I would have died, I imagine, once the sickness took me, if I hadn't, somehow, in my delirium, ended up on the steps of that temple. It's true what the say about Light's Bastion. Some parts of this area might not be as pristine as beautiful as they make it look on the surface. But those people, those priests, they're even kinder, even more steadfast than the world sees. - Alrin, Noorlain Resident
