Warning! The text below may constitute spoilers for people who have not played and finished Angels with Scaly Wings yet! [spoiler]After the great journey, a message was sent out offering a place in this new sanctuary to any survivors around the world. The tale went far, much further than Covenant City initially expected. Soon came the first travelers, a miracle celebrated by those in charge. They had endured the dangerous trek through the desert - evading raiders, starvation and other dangers alike. More followed, graciously accepted into the vast Covenant City that was filled with empty buildings. But the influx of new arrivals from all over the continent never stopped. Soon, there were too many to safely integrate into the precarious, still-developing infrastructure of the fledgling metropolis. And so, a camp was erected from the remains of an outpost not too far from Covenant City itself. Here, new arrivals would remain while Covenant City did its best to clean up the abandoned skyscrapers and offer the new homes - once readied - to those waiting in the camp. But what was believed at the time to be a temporary accomodation became more permanent for some. Demand for new homes in Covenant City outgrew the pace they could be offered. The camp, lacking the luxuries and pomp of Covenant City, grew ever larger. At least there was no shortage of work to go around as people from all cities worked together to rebuild. And the camp, now with a labor force the other cities depended on, eventually declared independence after long having outgrown its purpose as a simple reception camp and waiting room. Sure, in New Bastion - now a city in its own right - conditions were basic and didn't have the cutting edge technology of Covenant City, nor the comfort of Idyl's End - but it was livable. With demand in Covenant City homes ever outpacing their supply, some focused more on building their future in New Bastion instead of hoping Covenant City would keep its promise...
