Bastion
Bastions are a dungeon type based on military strongholds. Their official background describes a change from garrisons protecting settlements to bases used by brigands and deserters. This article brings together map examples, possible dungeon conditions and the distinction between a location and its contract objective.

Background and character
This bastion once provided protection to the surrounding settlements, but now it's just a den of brigands and deserters, who use it as a base for their raids.
Finding a location and map generation
One type can contain several differently named locations. Wilderness dungeon generation draws locations from the relevant pools and selects positions using region, terrain and surrounding-space constraints. A type name does not identify one fixed coordinate.
First identify the location by name in the table, then open the interactive map if needed. Coordinates on this site belong to an example map; when travelling, check the discovered locations, roads and quest records in your own save.
Dungeon conditions
A dungeon can use an explicitly specified condition. Without one, a contract-supplied condition takes precedence; otherwise, a random condition can be selected according to the dungeon's current state. The table lists candidates, not effects that are all active on every visit.
Use these names to identify the condition shown for your location. Read that condition's in-game description for its effects, and check the current contract for your objective.
| Possible condition |
|---|
| Trapped Entrance |
| Iron Discipline |
| Revelry |
| Hefty Stockpiles |
Locations, contracts and current state
A location type describes a category of dungeon; a contract describes what a particular commission asks you to do. Where a location is associated with a contract, use that contract's acceptance conditions, objective and delivery requirements rather than the type name to determine completion.
Dungeon conditions and settlement situations are separate subjects. Conditions concern a dungeon, while situations describe settlement events and economic changes. A settlement event is not presented here as a condition guaranteed in every nearby dungeon, and no single reset interval is asserted for all locations.
