Dawn's Reach

History
Founded in 593 K.C. along with Radiance is a large lighthouse known as Dawn’s Reach that helps incoming ships avert disaster among the nestled thruways and channels that present a threat to even the most masterful of sailors. The coastline of Ban’diel at this point is notorious for both dense fog and shallows, forcing the denizens to have a small naval presence in the location for assistance as well as defense of the harbor from marauding pirates.

The large stone tower is cylindrical in shape, producing a beacon that can be seen for as far as 20-30 miles outward. The lighthouse is not akin to any other as it also doubles as a walled military fortification and naval harbor. The ridgeline in which it’s located on is dotted with ballistae which can puncture ship’s hulls and cannons with chain-shot that can destroy masts and annihilate lines of invading infantry.
