Landmarks

Blackbeard's Fortified Harbor

A heavily militarized coastal stronghold overlooking the main harbor of St. Thomas, featuring stone gun emplacements, watchtowers, and a fortified pier system. The harbor is ringed with occupation checkpoints where armed guards inspect all vessel traffic, and occupation banners flutter from the ramparts. Underground bunkers and ammunition stores have been carved into the hillside behind the main fortification, and the entire complex is surrounded by reinforced barriers and controlled access gates. This strategic position commands all maritime approach routes to the island and serves as the primary military headquarters for the occupying force.

The Skyline Garrison Citadel

A sprawling fortified compound built atop the highest rolling hills of central St. Thomas, offering panoramic views of the entire island and surrounding waters. The citadel features multiple interconnected stone structures, barracks, administrative buildings, and observation towers linked by covered walkways and underground passages. Occupation forces have repurposed the colonial-era architecture into a command center, with checkpoints controlling access along the winding mountain roads and supply convoys moving regularly between the garrison and settlements below. Signal fires and communication towers crown the highest peaks, allowing the occupying military to maintain constant surveillance over all populated areas and coastal regions of the island.
