The Bastion

The Bastion is a massive, floating fortress-city that serves as the administrative and defensive hub for the Pirate Lords. Governed by Grom the Unsinkable, it is constructed from the hulls of dozens of captured warships and reinforced with blackened steel and iron-plating.

Overview

Unlike The Drift Market, which is a chaotic bazaar, The Bastion is a strictly military installation. It houses the "Fleet Guard," a specialized unit of pirates who maintain the Accord of the Cove. The fortress is equipped with heavy Aether-cannons and has enough supplies to withstand a prolonged siege.

Strategic Importance

The Bastion is strategically anchored near the entrance to Crystal Cove, acting as the first line of defense against any surface invasion from the North or East. It is said that as long as The Bastion floats, the Crystal Archipelago remains free.
