A once bustling port town, La Bastille is now a grim, occupied settlement under the oppressive shadow of undead forces. Its cobbled streets, once filled with merchants and travelers, echo with an unnatural silence, broken only by the shambling of the undead and the desperate whispers of a hidden resistance. The city, once a proving ground for heroes, has become a dark parody of its former self, a place where Yvon the Forsaken's vampiric army amasses.
Player-Facing Lore & Discoveries
- Located on the border between Vallier and Heldraeg, connected by a strategically important fortified bridge known as 'The Border'.
- The town was originally founded by Qildan the Starbeam, Jacques the Nimble, and Garun the Greatshield as a place for the forgotten and lost to prove their worth.
- It was once a notorious "training ground" for prisoners and willing participants to become heroes, even featuring in a teleshow called "Dungeons and Dimwits."
- Currently, it is under the oppressive control of Yvon the Forsaken's undead forces, which are slowly turning the city into a Barovia-like nightmare.
- A hidden resistance, led by Liberty Lovine, operates within La Bastille, working to relieve the pressure of the occupation.
- The Nightwalker, a great evil, currently patrols the Spirithaze Forest to the north, acting as a guardian to prevent escape from the occupied town.
- The Renegade Syndicate is currently engaged in a guerilla strike to aid this resistance by confronting the Nightwalker.
