This article collects information regarding the conceptualisation of the game world of The Mana World.

'Bulwark' doubles as the name for the great wall built to separate central Argaes from the 'Southern Wilds' of Argaes, as well as the name of the military town built on the north side of the wall.

The wall and checkpoint at Bulwark, operated by a joint military effort between Emperor Sabborus Keshlam II and King Kness, are in place foremost to restrict trade access with the renowned pirating community of Port Yenver, while also keeping the vicious creatures of the desert and savanna out of the northern territory.

The wall stands between the Coastal Ridge Mountain range on the north and Mount Orynia to the south. Due to the strong military presence, the town is able to leave the gate fully open day and night without facing incident.

In the last decade, the creatures of the south have learned to stay away from Bulwark. Currently, the biggest issue facing the checkpoint guards is distinguishing between legitimate trade from The Savanna Village and Savanna people hired to smuggle goods from Port Yenver. This is difficult to manage, as it is too dangerous to patrol within the Savanna, so there is little evidence as to which direction the trader may have come from.

Further complicating the matter is the Savanna Village's recent decision to cancel their previous agreement to bar trade with Port Yenver.

Notes

• This little town takes the place of Trade City on the the Argaes map, since Port City is going to be a big trade city all on its own.
