Description

The Iron Bastion is a foreboding fortress located at the heart of Sepheris Secundus, serving as the seat of power for Queen Lachryma III. Surrounded by towering walls of reinforced steel and adorned with the sigils of the crown, it stands as a grim reminder of the feudal oppression that defines the planet. Within its halls, the Royal Scourges train and strategize, ensuring the queen's iron grip on the serfs and the vast mineral wealth they extract from the mines. The air is thick with the scent of metal and sweat, echoing with the distant sounds of pickaxes striking rock, a constant reminder of the labor that fuels the empire's economy. A rogue trader has the queen's audience, brokering a deal to facilitate the sale of their ore and shipments of supplies to the planet, thus ensuring influence beyond the subsector.

Appearance

The fortress is a massive structure of dark iron and stone, with high battlements and watchtowers that loom over the surrounding landscape. Its stained-glass windows depict scenes of conquest and loyalty, casting colorful shadows on the ground below, while the banners of the queen flutter ominously in the wind.
