“
An Unprecedented Journey
Written in USA, Drawn in Brazil- BLUE BASTION explores a Utopia run by 6 Elders + 1 King and the conflicts they face maintaining peace in a volatile world. A central theme of Blue Bastion is the use of Gauntlets much like modern-day smart phones. With all citizens wearing “Grain Gauntlets”, every one has a bit of magic at their fingertips!
A Race Unlike Any Other
In BLUE BASTION, you’ll be introduced to the scenery through the eyes of renegade citizen Master Euclid Syfer, as he competes in The Path To Kingship, a 3-year long series of chariot races. With the ultimate prize being the crown, will Euclid win and become the next King?
A Blend Of Sci-Fi & Fantasy
As you turn the pages, you’ll watch a world grow in front of your eyes.
But before you enter, you should know a few things:
- Blue Bastion is a planet.
- The planet has 3 States – The Capitol, The Slums, & The Impact Site.
- There are no cars. Instead, citizens use their Grain Gauntlets to generate creatures called Constructs that they use as companions and vehicles.
- Grain Gauntlets are powered by batteries called “Grain Cores”. Grain Cores are obtained through the unethical use of slaves called Harvesters. One motivation for our heroes is to invent a new core. But will the Traders in the Slums like this?
- All Citizens of the Capitol must attend the Blue Bastion Academy from 8 years of age until they graduate at 28 during a ceremony in the Elder Temple.
- After graduating, Citizens choose to become a Builder, Councilor, or Master.
- Builders create goods for the Capitol and can become a CELEBRITY.
- Councilors work in the Elder Temple and can become an ELDER.
- Masters compete in chariot races and can become the next KING.” [via Blue Bastion Indiegogo]
