Kolin's Bastion

Kolin's Bastion is an old keep in Sabbatholm. Since the advent of airships, its importance has decreased, though it controls a very important land route.

History
It was hastily created by Lord Kolin during the First Faceless War to halt the advance of the Faceless One army that was pursuing him. It held long enough for him to bring about a proper force of fresh troops to rebel the force. The Faceless Ones were scattered, but scattered into the holes and caves of the mountains, where they were near impossible to destroy.

Years past, and Sabbatholm kept the fortress relatively modern, as it always had some kind of business going through it. When the Estellion Sky Empire invaded Midworld, Trevor Orwitz was given command to ensure that this important land route was not captured. This lead to the four month siege, The Battle of Kolin's Bastion. A thousand ECHO forces under Sawyer, an ECHO First Class fought the guards of the castle tooth and nail, but they could not breach it until the final night. There, Sawyer and Orwitz fought man to man, Orwitz lost an arm, but Sawyer lost his life!

Later in the war, it was one of the staging grounds for airships carting framework that would become Cornerstone Keep. It was one of the reasons that Trevor Orwitz was chosen to head the creation of Cornerstone.
