The Bunker

The Bunker, often referred to as "the First Bunker", is the shelter Wynn and his family are found inside when Sol Riverly choses to evacuate it in Season One, Episode One: New Life.

The residents inside the Bunker at the time of Season One are referred to as 'Bunker Clan'. Bunker clan consists of 18 members: Azha Green, Valarie Green, Lilibet Green, Holden Blackwood, Emlyn Blackwood, Bas Blackwood, Lyra Blackwood, Hayzel Blackwood, Harlow Blackwood, Junius Dalton, MaReya Dalton, Fabian Dalton, Martha Bell, Kane Bell, Ares Bell, Wynnlow Bell, Quill Bell, and Elara Bell.

At the end of Season 7, a new group of people move into the Bunker after a catastrophic flood causes the ground to be uninhabitable. This new group is referred to as 'First Bunker Clan' (there is a 'Second Bunker Clan' who resides in the Second Bunker/Atlantis' Bunker). The members of First Bunker Clan are: Sol Riverly, Wynnlow Bell, Quill Bell, Elara Bell Zora, Isobel Kady Zora, Atlantis Beckett, Harlow Blackwood, Fenn Jakson, Liam Leighton, Katherine Kudla, Dexter Kudla, Mable Reyes, and Joshua Morgan.

The Bunker features a large open living area with a kitchen, dining, and living area - as well as a separate lounge area. It holds a communal bathroom space with several separate bathrooms (one for each family) and a laundry space. Each family has their own quarters which includes a small living space and a separate bedroom space. The Bell family are the only family to have their bedrooms separated from each other and their living space, as they had the most amount of people in their family.

The Bunker also has a private office for Azha - Chancellor of the Bunker - where he can monitor everything from supplies, to what is happening on the ground. It has a large greenhouse area (which only the adults have access to/much knowledge of) and additional storage space by the entrance/exit to the Bunker.

It was originally built to sustain 13 people, but ending up homing a total of 18 people.

In the Bells section, Martha and Kane share a room, Ares and Wynn share a room, whilst Quill and Elara have their own box rooms. Initially, Wynn and Ares were supposed to have their own room, but upon the discovery of Quill and his adoption into their family, Wynn and Quill shared a room (though, Quill would often sneak out of bed and share with Ares during his first few years in the Bunker). When Elara was born, she slept in her parents room until she was 6 years old. Then, Martha and Kane cleared out their box room/storage room to turn into a room for Quill, had Wynn move into Ares' room, and moved Elara into Wynn and Quill's old room.

In the Blackwood's section, Holden and Emlyn share s bed in their living space. In the large sleeping space connected to the room, Bas, Lyra, Hayzel, and Harlow have their beds. After Holden's death, Hayzel often slept with her mother.

The Dalton's living section is rather small, as there is only the three of them, but Junius, MaReya, and Fabian still manage to have their own space within the room, as well as a small lounge area.

The Green's living section is the smallest of all the families, as initially, it was only Azha and Valarie. They have their sleeping space - with enough room to walk around the bed and have minimal storage, and a smaller section at the entrance to their room which has additional storage/wardrobe space and, after Lili is born, it is where her crib is kept.

The Bunker was invaded by Sol Riverly in Season One, Episode One: New Life. It was a part of her mission to demonstrate her skills and thought process that would present her as the best choice for Noble Sovereign. Sol, at the time, explained that her intention behind opening nearby Bunkers was to rescue survivors and recruit them for numbers in Basilisk's army against Blood Riders - as there were many indications of a war approaching between the two clans. However, later on in the series, Sol reveals that she was led to believe by her father, that her mother was alive and hiding in one of the Bunkers, and Sol wanted to find her. Unfortunately, the reality was that Eryx (Sol's father) had killed Sol's mother and came up with the lie that she was in a bunker to avoid confessing to what he had done. In Sol's continued mission to open nearby bunkers + find her mother (in Season 2), she finds a group of people and brings them back to Basilisk. Among these people are Zara Beckett - her father's former love affair, and Atlantis Beckett - Sol's paternal half-sister.

**Fun Trivia:**

When the Bunker was opened by Sol, the first person she found was Wynn.

In Season 5 Alternative Version, when Wynn loses all three of his siblings, he seals himself in the Bunker in a period of mourning, preventing anyone from getting in.
