Bysanthe

Overview

Bysanthe is a citadel located north of the Vagheria peninsula, serving as one of the sixteen strongholds along The Rampart. It is one of the two most important strongholds, alongside the Solstice Gate.

Strategic Location

The fortress oversees the open waterway between the Muir Concordia and the Elikadura Fjords. This passage, nestled between high majestic walls, serves as a critical maritime corridor.

Historical Use

The waterway overlooked by Bysanthe was used by the Bravos and the Ordis to transport materials for the construction of Cebir, as well as to launch perilous ventures off the Caer Oorun coasts.

Structure

Like other strongholds along the Rampart, Bysanthe is topped with a floating tower housing Kelon cores that power the magical turbines pushing The Tumult currents outward.
