Ben Alder (Scottish Gaelic: Beinn Eallair) is a mountain in the Scottish Highlands, home to a fort of the same name. The fort was nestled into the mountain, as if it had been carved out of the rock itself, with four towers of different heights and a massive main keep. Before being massacred by the Templars, it was also the stronghold of Sören's clan, and, by extension, an operational center for the Scottish Brotherhood of Assassins.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
Legends claimed that the Gaels built the fortress as a stronghold in their efforts to conquer Scotland and expand their kingdom of Dál Riata.[2]
Ever since Sören's clan took hold of the castle, it also became a considerable strategic asset to the Brotherhood, with only a chosen few knowing of its existence. During the flourishing era of the Scottish Brotherhood, a few decades prior to 1296, it functioned as the nerve center through which passed the men and the information which made countering the Templars possible.[2] However, the Templars eventually found the location of the castle and decimated the clan in a great battle that took days and also left sections of the fort in ruins.[1] Sören, who had been away when the battle occurred, was the last living member of the clan and inherited the castle.[2]
In 1296, following their escape from Cornavii's attack at Scone, Sören and his band left for Ben Alder.[1] There, he trained Fillan in the ways of the Assassins through the rest of the year,[2][3] until Deorsa came to call upon them in early spring 1297.[4]
