Fault

Fault, the capital, is lodged in a giant fissure within the ground. Heavily defended, both the military and civilian center of Bastion. Surrounding the gaping maw is a “living wall” that changes at the will of the thousand guards that staff it. Inside the wall is an organized grid of housing that contains families of the countless bureaucrats and officers that work within the gap. Highly efficient, the city bears the scars of a decade long siege by the Empire before it was broken by allied states. Every year security drills are performed by even the youngest citizen, and the city motto is “Always Ready”. At every block there are security lockers filled with tools and weapons, and every ten square miles has a bunker for safety.

Those of Fault are physically trained from a young age in the martial arts and use of all kinds of weapons. While not as skilled at finer manipulation, their application of powers is a sight to behold. The most powerful usually go on to lead expeditionary forces, showcasing the strength and discipline of Bastion. In close proximity to the weapon labs of Hylan, each individual citizen of Fault is a force to be reckoned with.

Fault proper is a deep crack in the earth, created by unnatural methods that have since become the stuff of myth and legends. It is classified how deep it goes, but the bottom is shrouded in darkness, with no light escaping from the pit. Housed in numerous honeycombed offices near the surface are those of ambassadors and local representatives from the states. Deeper are the barracks and other military installations, and further still are the chambers of the council that rules bastion. What lies at the very bottom is unknown.
