Al-Basaad

Al-Basaad is a large fortress located on the Kaladinian Peninsula in northern Serrona. It is a part of the Sylvanian province of Andrimar, and was once the capital of De Vrijmasten Raden. Early in its history it was found abandoned by Sarlician Silver Dawn, where he claimed it for Barbossa. It also served as the primary battleground during the Battle of Al-Basaad.

Rebuilding
Al-Bassad was incomplete when it was first discovered. Although it was mostly finished, a lot was missing. A few members of Barbossa, mainly Sarlician, JoeppieDePoeppie, Giovanni "Pilot" Pilota, along with some foreign assistance, such as Aaronx4b of Helsia, started working on making it more defendable. Proper railing on the interior of the catwalk was added, tunnels were closed off, and notably a large berry field was planted. All of this was in preparation for the coming war with the United Socialist States of Eldham.

Battle of Al-Basaad
When The Red War finally broke out, it saw the USSE attempt to take Al-Basaad from Barbossa. Both sides formed decently sized armies, preparing for the worst. Barbossa had a trick up its sleeve, though. Intel had leaked revealing the location of a massive stockpile of the USSE's potions hidden under their camp. When the battle started, a couple soldiers from Al-Basaad snuck into the USSE's camp and managed to completely destroy the stockpile. When the USSE realized what had happened, they realized they couldn't continue the battle, and had to surrender.

The USSE army never had a chance to mount an assault on Al-Basaad, but instead took large casualties when the defenders sallied forth and attacked their camp during the surrender negotiations.
