Description

Bane's fortress[3] was said to have one been the most imperious and terrifying domain in all the Barrens of Doom and Despair. It was said to be so massive that it struck out any lingering light in the barrens' skies.[5]

The magnificent palace was constructed from the darkest metals and wood, like adamantine and ebony, and adorned with lustrous precious stones like jet and obsidian.[5]

Cosmography

By the the Great Wheel cosmological model, the Black Bastion was said to reside in Avalas, the 1st layer of eternal battleground of Acheron.[1][2]

Under the World Tree and World Axis models, it was situated in the Barrens of Doom and Despair,[3] also known as 'Banehold'.[4]

Notable Locations

The only recorded landmark of note within the Black Bastion was Bane's personal throne of skulls.[1][5]

Inhabitants

The Black Bastion housed Bane's personal army, which included devils and other extra-planar soldiers that heeded his call for war.[5]

It was also home to the beasts of Bane, nocturnal monsters that were much more menacing than their mundane kin.[3]
