Cere

Cere is closer to the more industrialized areas of Bastion and the finished creations of Waithe and Hylan are present in strong numbers. While it lacks the luster of Fortune, it's a far more relaxed environment. Unlike the places of their construction, Cere uses their mechanical imports for leisure and relaxation, and almost every house has some form of metal device to aid in their overall lackadaisical approach on life. As the only city untouched by war, those of Cere are the most carefree of all the cities.

Located on a peninsula, surrounded by ocean currents, and in a tropical climate, the people of Cere take constant holidays and engage in every form of water based sport that currently exists. As the only threats to Cere have been tsunamis and hurricanes, they are adapt at manipulating both wind and water in order to protect their coastal community. Everyone from Parnassus to Waithe consult Cere on issues ranging from irrigation to steam power, and the mark of Cere is present on almost every aqueduct, waterway, and dam.

Underneath their cheerful and laid back demeanor is a cool calculating nature they use in business. While the merchants of Fortune bluster and boast, the barterers of Cere will leave customers relaxed in both mind and coinpurse. Skilled in the art of both charm and deception, negotiators from their calm port have been used to placate violent criminals, and mediate tense negotiations.

Their coastal city is mostly made of low lying houses and numerous city squares, with fountains and parks abound. With Cereians surfing everything from wind, water, and land, and mellow trumpets from various corner cafes filling the air, one gets the image of supreme and lasting peace. However, one but wonders why a port city has been free of conflict since its inception, remaining completely untouched by every war that has ravaged the continent.
