The Floating Fortress of Shasarazade, despite its name, is not literally a floating fortress. The fortress itself lies on land on the western banks of the [[Tolna Canal]] with fortifications extending across the canal. As such, it is a key defensive structure for the capital city of [[Gregminster]] along with the [[Fortress of Kwaba]] | The Floating Fortress of Shasarazade, despite its name, is not literally a floating fortress.

Shasarazade also served as the base of the [[Scarlet Moon Imperial Navy]] and its commander [[Sonya Shulen]]. Although the fortress was considered extremely difficult to attack, Shasarazade has been approached by pirates several times; most notably when the pirate leader [[Anji]] pinned a wedding dress to its walls, taunting Sonya Shulen's unwed status. | Shasarazade also served as the base of the [[Scarlet Moon Imperial Navy]] and its commander [[Sonya Shulen]].

Although the battle ended in victory for the rebel forces, [[Sanchez]], a spy who had hidden in the army thus far without detection, stabbed [[Mathiu Silverberg]], the head strategist of the Liberation Army, and set fire to the fortress prematurely, endangering many lives. | ||
