Bastion Wiki

Welcome to the Bastion Wiki!
This is a wiki that will cover the world and characters of a homebrew RPG campaign. In this world, what would be considered magic is commonplace, and every living creature has some degree of magical ability. Plants can redirect light to the darkest caverns to survive, certain predators can breathe ice to slow down their prey, while some creatures can reassemble themselves within the bellies of their hunters. The campaign takes its name from the land where the player characters (PCs) start, the nation of Bastion. The country is separated in to various city states, each with their own unique culture and abilities. The PCs each hail from one of these city states or their surrounding territories, and are granted various abilities depending on where they were born. This is not to say that the skills of each state is regulated to natives only, and within Bastion a student exchange program exists where members of any city state can travel to another to learn their specialties.

What are the City-States of Bastion?
From west to east they are:

Fortune: the largest city, both fortunes are made and lost in this western seaport of business and pleasure.

Parnassus: medicine and biology are studied under the great Mother tree which grows in the center of this living city.

Fault: administrative capital of Bastion, home to hulking soldiers who train among the dry mountains and canyons that surround a gaping fissure in the earth.

Waithe: while this frigid northern state may seem a less than ideal place to live, much less around an active volcano, the nation's best engineers have crafted a city of great forges that take advantage of the magma that churns below.

Hylan: tunnels and caverns make the land below reminiscent of swiss cheese, and within these geological wonders chemists and physicists study the nature of the world, safe from both prying eyes and colleague's failed experiments.

Cere: not as glamorous as its western cousin, the mellow port city of Cere exports the goods of their industrious neighbors of Waithe and Hylan.

The Wastes: not a city state per se, but a reservation for the remnants of the Sun Empire, powerful flame wielding warriors who waged war against the city states for countless years before they banded together as the Bastion Alliance.

Who are the Players?
Percy Decken: Gifted engineer from Waithe. Fausto Reeves: Forthright entertainer who is a stranger to lady luck. Elda Metis: Honest physician from a powerful Cerian business family. Gabriel Cortez: Native of Waithe who traveled to Fortune in hopes of making it big. Gunnar Shaw: A large Faultion man living in the even larger shadow of his father. "Maverick": Outlaw from Fortune who's on the run from powerful enemies.
