The Bastion is one of the areas of World of Warcraft: Shadowlands. In this article, we will focus on this paradise-like area concealing many mysteries, as well as a terrible reality threatening its inhabitants...

WoW: The Bastion, Shadowlands Zone

World of Warcraft: Shadowlands brings four new areas into play that players can visit during the expansion. In this article, we invite you to discover Bastion, an area where the noblest souls of Azeroth go. It is governed by the Covenant of the Kyrians, itself directed by The Archon.

Those who have devoted their lives to combat go to the Bastion to assume the highest charge possible: to lead souls to Shadowlands. Amid the tall towers and breathtaking panoramas of Bastion, challenges will test the courage of the most determined Kyrians.

Bastion is an area with the appearance of what could resemble Paradise in the collective imagination. Very bright, it is governed by the Kyrians . It is an area where souls seek redemption and forgiveness for the burdens they carry even in death. This is where the Val'kyrs and Guardians of Souls come from .

Bastion shelters several types of inhabitants, each one having their well defined role:

Kyrians

The noble inhabitants of Bastion who shepherd the souls of the dead to Oribos so that they can be judged by the impassive Arbiter before being sent to their final destinations. Fresh arrivals to Bastion will become Kyrian Aspirants—wingless beings who train for eons to one day earn their wings and join the ranks of the Ascended.

Stewards

World of Warcraft

Born of the magic of Death, these otherworldly groundskeepers and artificers keep Bastion pristine. Along with maintaining the realm, they assemble Centurions—the anima-fueled guardians that train Kyrian Aspiriants and defend Bastion. Each steward dotes on a Paragon and keeps mementos of their achievements. Perhaps you will catch their eye and they’ll pledge themselves to you!

The Forsworn

World of Warcraft

Rarely, an Aspirant will fail to complete a rite of passage. These once-bright souls darken and become lost, wandering the plains of Bastion to lament. Containing the Forsworn is key, for if left unchecked, doubt can spread like a disease.

The centurions

A legion of anima-fueled automatons that drill Kyrian Aspirants in meditative combat as well as defend Bastion.

  • Praetor: These flying automatons are charged with training Aspirants who show particular martial promise.
  • Goliath: Unyielding bulwarks and powerful warriors that enforce order in Bastion.
  • Colossus: Eternal protectors, these guardians have stood watch and defended Bastion for ages.

Demonstration

As the Kyrian shed the burdens of their past lives, physical manifestations of their tormented thoughts are expelled from their bodies. Only by striking them down can the Kyrian cleanse themselves and achieve ascendance.
