Crypt Homes

Introduction

Within the capital of Bastion the boundary between the living and the dead is but a subtle push. This is especially represented by the architecture of the most common housing, Crypt Homes. Built in a nearly identical style to the burial crypts, visitors often mistake the residential areas for one of the many catacombs that can be found within the capital.

Purpose / Function

Unlike the residential dwellings of many cultures that prefer to keep back the thoughts of your final rest, the Crypt Home has been designed specifically to help you understand that you are but moments away from death.

Death without Fear

The people of Bastion do not fear death and instead use it as a motivator to lead a productive life with an understanding that it could end at any time.

Architecture

Constructed of Blackstone and slate, Crypt Homes adhere closely to the Ornate Gothic architecture that makes up Bastion. All Crypt Homes are built at least a third of the way into the earth in a similar fashion to proper crypts.

Quick Notes

• The regulations on what consitutes as a proper Crypt Home are very specific to make sure the capital retains its distinct, macabre look.
• There are three Crypt Homes that can be found within Seawatch.
• Most Crypt Homes are too small to house some of the larger Sophonts such as Centaurs or Ogres.
