Exile's Arch is a district of Academy Ruins Subregion found within the region of Northern Bastion, located in the nation of Bastion, on the planet Coda, as of the year 468 LV.

History

The history of Exile's Arch is unfortunate and tragic. This pass led to the Fortress of Dawn, and served as one of the Legion's defensive posts. It is a story of jealousy between two best friends—Legionnaires, even.

Towards the end of the Final Battle against the Urgoth, Verithan murdered Felux, for an unknown reason. General Tarsis, unwilling to shed more human blood, decided that Verithan would be banished and exiled at this location.

As of 468 LV, this location is popular among Outlaws, where these criminals usually hold hostange exchanges.

Geography and Layout

The Exile's Arch is an arch built under a Shaper key in Legion of Dawn style. It is mostly rocky and few plants grow here.

On one side of the arch is a hill, on the other side, a cliff leading to the North-eastern edgr of Northern Bastion. Striders usually stop near the arch, because it may be impossible to go through it.

This pass leading to the Fortress of Dawn has a long history, not just as one of the Legion's defensive posts, but being the place they exiled one of their own. The Legionnaire Verithan had murdered his friend Felux out of jealously and Tarsis decided he should be banished rather than have Legionnaires spill human blood. Today, Exiles Arch is still a key location for the banished as the primary location for outlaw hostage exchange. When the authorities fail to arrive for a hostage exchange, captives are left alone at “The Hanging tree.” where they are more than likely to be eaten by wildlife.
