Fanon:Al-Dar

Al-Dar, or The House, is the social reactionary faction that is against the celebrity culture centered around Bridgeport. It is not only against the celebrity culture but also what they see as indecency of the mainstream Sim culture, such as beach parties glamorizing revealing outfits. As they are against such vulgar aspects of the culture, Al-Dar in many cases are allied with the Church, although Al-Dar disapproves of the Greek call for female activism in leadership and scholastic developments.

Political Activism
Initially, Al-Dar was pretty much unheard of: Sure, Ayham may have been buddies with Lysistrata due to occupational issues but that was it: Al-Dar did nothing interesting enough to attract the attention of the outsiders, and the only people who actually paid any attention were of the Church. However, due to the policies of the Church as well as Chrysanthema's own community services, the Al-Dar made another ally inside the church before the Big 6 packed up and left Sunset Valley. From there things start to pick up for the Al-Dar: the two other members, Omar Qutb and Anwar Arafat joined up with Ayham and Usaim for one. Ayham and Usaim never bothered to maintain the house: Kallistrata's hunger for life fruits had left their garden well taken care of, and the Al-Dar never bothered to check the Nectar rack that now stored some valuable nectar made by Kallistrata (and alongside that of Kallisto, Hypatia, and some that were just plain bought, the last being the least valuable), and with all the combined efforts, Al-Dar got themselves some cash.

Al-Dar then proceeded to shape the political field of Sunset Valley, now that the Big 6 is gone and Sunset Valley has now a huge gap. Al-Dar sought to fill it with their ideas, beginning with a small mosque: The Greek Church happily supported the construction of the mosque, and Al-Dar contracted with the Greek Church, the Church agreeing to provide any fund that the Al-Dar cannot provide for themselves regarding the construction of the mosque.
