Lucid Bastion

The Lucid Bastion is the court of the three ruling dens of the Kryn Dynasty, and home of the Bright Queen, Leylas Kryn. Located on the central hill of the capital city of Rosohna, the Bastion serves as the center of religion and government for the Dynasty. The first Luxon Beacon to be discovered by the Kryn is housed within the Bastion.

Exterior
The Lucid Bastion is a daunting and impressive cathedral, with spires of gray quartz that tower over the city of Rosohna. It is surrounded by a perimeter wall made of a dull gray-purple type stone, and, across the crest of it, there are lanterns alight with a soft, green glow.

Interior
The Bastion houses the Cathedral of the Bright Queen - an octagonal throne room made of gray stone, between 120 and 150 feet across and two hundred feet high. The ceiling of the chamber rises to a point like an inverted pyramid, with jagged ridges of stone climbing the walls like ice. The room is lit by a large sphere of bright white light hanging from the highest point in the room by white chains. The room contains a lifted dais on which three more platforms are elevated, each with staircases leading up to it. The central raised platform is higher than the other two, with a wide staircase that leads to the five chairs at the top. The central chair is a thirteen-foot tall white crystal throne with a platinum wire depiction of a Luxon Beacon on a waist-high pillar.

Adjacent to the throne room is an antechamber in which parties waiting for an audience with the Bright Queen are kept. The room is about twenty feet across, with black stone benches on either side and a small fountain with three metal cups in the center.

The interior halls of the Lucid Bastion are carved from semi-translucent gray quartz. The walls are about thirty to forty feet tall and come to an arched point at the top, with pillars about every twenty feet. The halls are lit similarly to the throne room, with orbs of blue light suspended from the ceiling by white chains.

Within a subterranean floor of the Bastion is a twenty-five-foot wide teleportation circle inlaid with silver, where parties teleporting to the citadel arrive.

History
The Lucid Bastion was built on the ruins of the Calamity-era Virkwzual ("Dark Bastion" in Infernal). The Bastion serves as a symbol of Kryn rebirth and faith in the Luxon.
