The fort was original built by Generale Beltrimo to secure is western flank. The Addar River wound its way along the western edge of the Scio Bluffs. This made the lands on the eastern bank well suited for defense. The General dispatched Centurian Nox de Bria and his century to build and man a series of forts along the river. Centurian Nox constructed his headquarters in the center of these forts where present day San Briaforte is located.

Centurian Nox and his century were killed when the orcs of the Alyy Tribe attacked. The strength of the forts and Centurian Nox's defense held the orcs at bay for nearly three weeks in the hopes that reinforcements would arrive. In the end they were slaughtered to a man. The orcs were still looting the remains a week later when three centuries arrived and drove the back across the river. The centuries rebuilt the forts, but once again left only a single century behind to man them.
