Bulwark is a Neutral alignment town, home to the Chieftain and Elder hero classes.

Bulwark represents Vori.

The native terrain of Bulwark is Snow.

"The Bulwark's inhabitants represent the peoples living on the frozen over island of Vori: Snow Elves, Jotunns, Yeti, and Kobolds. They are joined by their staunch allies, Argali and Mammoths. Their courage and unusual abilities, which they owe to the mysterious forces lurking in the eternal snows, are the stuff of legends and songs." ^{Horn of the Abyss}

Town Names[edit | hide]

Unless specified by the mapmaker, towns will generate with a random name. Bulwark towns will use one of these following names:

Alfheim	Anabar	Borea	Ellesmere
Everwinter	Halsmere	Jotunngard	Ketpall
Meghion	Stonefang	Thulekh	Tundara
Varand	White Mouth	Windskalir	Winterkill

If there are more Bulwark towns on the map than possible names, they will use names taken from other towns.

+== Trivia ==
-Bulwark was also known as ''Kronverk'' (crownwork). The English name has been changed to ''Bulwark''. The Russian name still transliterates to Kronverk.
+Bulwark was once known as the "Kronverk" (transliteration of "Crownwork"). See [[Abandoned_Town_Concepts_(HotA)#Crownwork_(Kronverk)|Abandoned Town Concepts]] for more details.
-* Judging by the previous concepts, the faction will probably be slow and defence-oriented.
-* It will not have any [[flying]] units, which will make the sieges harder. But some units will make up for it with shooting/magic abilities.
-Some random observations:
-* The name "bulwark" literally means "beamwork" and originally designated city walls reinforced with wooden beams. The name "boulevard" comes from cities where bulwarks were dismantled to create broad streets in their place. The name "crownwork" designates a forward fortified position  which is separate from the main fort, and directly exposed to fire from it. Attackers who manage to breach into the crownwork and seize it will not be able to use it against the main fort.
-* The first Youtube teaser for the Bulwark, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}5uM--UyP-Kg here], is a direct sequel to the first teaser for the Factory [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}HTXUglrxUQc here].
-* It seems the Mages Guild will only have three or four levels.
-* The [[wikipedia:Elder Futhark|Elder Futhark]] runes on the massive horn building transliterate to "fukïzt", which is meaningless.
-* Although associated with the Vori elves, the architectural style of the fort, mages guild, and horn support is more typically associated to dwarves in pop culture (e.g. the Moria/Khazad-Dûm from Peter Jackson's movie adaptation of ''The Fellowship of the Rings'', or from ''The Rings of Power'' series, Orzammar and the Deep Roads from ''Dragon Age'', etc.) with sharp angles and straight lines that are visually reminiscent of the Futhark runes.
-* Previous point is because Bulwark is a fusion of [https://forum.df2.ru/index.php?showforum{{=}}75 a previous abandoned project] of a faction of mountain dwarves, and a newer project of making a Vori elf town. The dwarves have been replaced with elves, but part of their aesthetic  remain.
-* Several units that had been created for the old dwarven Kronverk project have been preserved in the [[VCMI]] town mod [https://vcmi.eu/Mod%20Repository/Town/Highlands%20Town/ Highlands].
-* A very different interpretation of the Vori from {{dor}}'s [[Palace]].
