South-western Bastion - Bastion of Flame
The Bastion of Flame is the main line of defense for the citadel. It is a fortified tower located south-west of the citadel, connected via the wall that surrounded the village outside of the citadel. It serves as the military outpost and stands in the center of the only access point to the valley where Dracian lived. Military actions and orders were coordinated in this bastion and was controlled by the second in command. It served as the headquarters for the elite guard and contained a massive amount of ammunition as it was the top-side weapon distribution center.
Tunnels connect the Bastion of Flame to each of the 5 other strategic military points located in the ancient valley. They form a 5-pointed star with the center being the Blazing Throne and seat of the Warchief.
Today, the tower is a shadow of its former self. It is mostly a crumbled mess; a sign of the size of the external explosion that was needed to destroy it. Stones, weapons and various relics of the Bastion of Flame can be found scattered all over Dragnid forest, buried over the centuries.
Like all Dracian buildings, what is above ground is only the tip of the iceberg.
