The Bastion of Hephaistos (pronounced heh-FAI-stohs) is a fortified complex within the Hellean nation of the Halakran League, home to the hero-god Hephaistos. To the broader world very little is known about its interior. None aside from the living deity's senior-most clerics and closest advisors are allowed entry, and even then he is extremely discerning in who is permitted to remain within its walls. It is widely believed that Hephaistos' construct workshops lie in the center of the complex, behind the many tall stone walls and towers patrolled day and night by automatons and devices of his own creation.
