Pissa Oros Citadel

Pissa Oros Citadel

The Pissa Oros Citadel was a military citadel situated in the western corner of the Isolated Desert in Egypt.

History

Prior to 47 BCE, the citadel was once in the control of a group of rebels who opposed the pharaoh Ptolemy XIII. However, Medon, a commander who served under Ptolemy, attacked and claimed the citadel for himself, chasing the rebels away and led them to seek shelter in a massive cavern in the desert. Later on, Medon led an attack on the Theos Elpis Rift, another rebel camp and captured a rebel girl named Istellah, holding her captive at the citadel.

With information provided by Sebni, the Medjay Bayek of Siwa infiltrated the citadel and was able to escort Istellah out in a cart of haystack.

Around 38 BCE, the citadel was resettled in and used by the Roman general Gaius Julius Rufio as one of his base of operations in preparation for an invasion of Egypt. He placed his captain Jibade to overseer the citadel, ordering him to bring in luxurious goods to be used as inducements and recruit more men to his cause. The Hidden One Bayek of Siwa, having discovered this through a letter he recovered from Saragina Camp, travelled there and destroy the supplies before assassinating Jibade.
