Floating Fortress Balaam

Suspended above the valley, with steel supports and a pair of draw bridges that could be raised and lowered on a whim, Floating Fortress Balaam seemingly hovers between two distant ridges of red rock. Most likely an unfeasibly expensive undertaking, it is still unknown if it was something simply waived away by the King’s influence or perhaps a structure built before his time.

It holds a number of Esgarian prisoners, from officials of the former Sahian Caliphate to Hunters and, without a doubt, even more.

Esgares conflict arc
Sent on a mission to rescue Toshiro Mifune and Misty Rouex, a small group of rookie Hunters tried to infiltrate the base. After a mix of unpreparedness and bad luck put them in a tight spot, only one of them, Ace, was able to escape.

As Sol - shackled and beaten - and Derrick - hiding in plain sight dressed as a guard - tried their best to get out of their predicament, the rest of the rookies were called in for a second attempt at storming the fortress. Their objective was to, at the very least, silence Misty so that no sensitive information would fall into Esgarian hands.
