Bast (Zone)

Bast is a zone named after a now abandoned outpost of the United Cities in the northeast region of the map. 
The Holy Nation and the United Cities continue frequent battles in the region surrounding the former settlement of Bast. While the city itself has no loot, the surrounding area witnesses many battle scenes where battles occur in the immediate region surrounding Bast, primarily to the South.
It's unclear which of the 2 giants are more frequent the victor in battle due to contradicting evidence, so it's best to keep an eye out if you are either a non-human or a poor/starving person, as The Holy Nation and United Cities have a tendency to target these types of wanderers, respectively.

== Tips ==
* Holy Nation sentinel and United City samurai gear, as well as Basic First Aid Kits, can be obtained in abundance here. Wearing faction armour works as a Disguise and may lead to being attacked by enemies of that faction or the faction itself if the disguise is blown. Faction armour also have their market value significantly reduced, making it less profitable than typical armours to sell.
== Trivia ==
* Dialogue from Bard implies that Bast was colonized in relatively recent times, and may have started to prosper, before the Holy Nation's invasion.
