The Bastion
Hidden away in a pocket of the Elsewhere, the Bastion serves as a base of operations and a safe haven for the Party and any companions they may pick up along the way. The Bastion's location makes it inaccessible to all but those who know how to find it, leaving it the last true safe haven across the Collapse for the party to keep out of reach of those who would seek them harm.
The Bastion's presence within the Elsewhere also means that it can be modified to meet the Party's needs, so long as they are willing to help their resident Elsewhere Architect in any construction and modification.
Purpose / Function
The Bastion was built as a safe place for the Party and their companions to rest, including areas for eating, sleeping, and relaxing. The Bastion also serves as a place for the party to make use of their skills as crafters, providing various areas to acquire materials or specialized equipment to create, repair, and modify items and equipment.

Special Properties
Garden
The garden allows the party to grow flowers, food, herbs, or poisonous plants for use or profit, provided there is someone to tend to the garden during this time.
Sanctuary
The Sanctuary provides a quiet place to meditate and pray to the Gods. This sense of peace and restoration radiates through the Bastion, granting those who spend a long rest within its boundary the ability to cast a single healing word without expending a spell slot within one week of said rest. In addition, there is enough divine energy in the space for residents to craft holy symbols over the course of a week. These symbols use minimal materials, and sell for a small amount to interested buyers.
Alterations
The Bastion started with two Medium sized rooms, two Small sized rooms, and two facilities:
- Medium Rooms
- Dormitory (separated into individual sleeping quarters for each party member)
- Living Space
- Small Rooms
- Kitchen
- Bathroom
- Facilities
- Garden
- Sanctuary
Defenses
The Bastion's presence deep within the Elsewhere keeps it naturally safe from external threats.
History
1 - Bastion is Created by Adora
2 - Special Facilities are designed and constructed; a Bastion Familiar is summoned to the Garden by Ryshard
7 - Mysterious doors appear throughout the Bastion
12 - Mineralis is brought to the Bastion after having been rescued
13 - ST3-4M and Pigwiggle are brought to the Bastion while the party prepares to head North
The changeable nature of the Elsewhere allows the Bastion to be altered and re-arranged using a particular type of magic. This eliminates a material cost for modifying the space, provided there is a magical architect capable of doing the work. Unfortunately, this also means that the space is subject to modifying itself, as the Elsewhere is not particularly stable.
