Broken Reach is a fortress and palace that serves as the access sector to the realm of Axum, corresponding to the port of Adulis on the Red Sea coast. It works as a portal to the three successive levels of Axumite territory.

Description

Trenches surround the fortress. Its walls carry symmetrically attached turrets that evoke a red flower grown in the red desert. The setting is described as having red tenors on plains of infinite portals, and a background noise like a spaceship flying over craters that look shallow but are deep.

A red-haired woman governs it, adorned with a shroud of the same color.

History

A girl abducted by GRDT and KAXA was taken to Broken Reach as the last tribute to the great serpent, which demanded one young woman each year. A stranger rescued the girl and killed the serpent.

“Broken Reach” is also the name of a planar locality of the shared cosmos.
