The Solar Bastion

The Solar Bastion is a cross between a bunker, a keep and a temple. It is a place of safety which can house many people (including humans thanks to having ground access) in times of danger. It consists of a stout fortified structure topped by a high dome which breaches the first canopy and reflects light, blinding attackers and reminding everyone in the surrounding area it is there. The dome itself also has arrow slits (which can be reached via scaffolding), so that the defenders can safely shoot in any direction at flying attackers. Inside the structure proper there's a cistern, which is fed by rainwater that can come down though the arrow slits and store rooms for supplies, both there in case of a siege. The insides are lit by Luminant plants in pots and solar batteries. There is a vault where Aiviri weapons can be charged using an Inventor made high-power sunlamp.
== Location ==
The solar bastion is found atop a rocky outcrop surrounded by the forests of the Luminant. The Lake of Radiance is found to the north east and the Heart Pierce Spire beyond it in the same direction.

=== Reinforced stonework II ===
The stonework used to construct the keep is unnaturally sturdy, allowing it to withstand most mundane attempts to destroy it.
=== Shield of Civilization II ===
The warriors who own the Bastion are considered the guardians of the realm by the people of their civilization, and will find them far more willing to cooperate with them as a result. Willing recruits are plentiful and supplies are willingly provided so long as the army fulfills its duty to the people. The effect works by line of sight and drops off gradually when the affected person can’t see the bastion or the glow radiating from its dome.
