A star fort has been built outside any major political power's sphere of influence, on a small hill overlooking a crossroads between some free cities and towns. Diamond shaped bastions spotted with openings for cannons and guns jut out to cover interlocking angles of fire. A single tower, crowned with magical crystals and copper antennae, rises up 40 feet in the center of the fort. Armored soldiers equipped with halberds and crossbows stand guard at the main gate, but during the day they simply wave visitors right through.
A wide open area between the entrance and the tower as well as the other buildings. An awning has been erected in one corner, alongside the fortified wall, over a wooden bar with several stools. But instead of drinks, adventurers can talk to a tall elf man in a Vulpanian army uniform to get bounties on monsters or jobs helping the garrison. The army is paying in silver coins and weapons.
[RMA Station]
The main entrance to the Magicbase's tower is secured by guards inspecting passes, but adventurers looking for work are directed around back, to a side door leading to a small office and a human woman in a wheelchair. The Royal Magic Agency always needs spell components and will pay for rare materials and useful secrets with magic items and divine support.
[RCA Station]
One of the magazines built into the ground to serve the defensive cannons has been emptied of shell and powder and provided with furniture and office supplies. More trusted contractors and sources of information are invited here to have a glass of wine and a nice chat with the human male Royal Clandestine Agency's Chief of Station. He pays well--in silver or favors--for any insights on the current state of the Nexus and may have special tasks he'd like accomplished discreetly.
[VIP Quarters]
The second floor of the tower is partitioned into small but pleasant apartments for honored guests and members of the Vulpanian Royal Family.
