'''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.
Al-Dar's residence is in the Chapel-Barrack style house, left vacant when the Initiates went along with Kallisto et al. to Hekatonschoinos (and did not bother to reoccupy once they returned).
==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.
Line 26:
The formation of the Papal State significantly weakened the Ecclesiarchal control over Sunset Valley when it comes to law. With the Papal State becoming a separate state, the Ecclesiarchy was significantly less able to pressure the government to pass measures to halt what they thought was harmful, such as the ever-so-looming threat of papparazzi-created rumors, and before the Papal State the Ecclesiarchy was able to pass several ordinances with their vast political influence to shut down the papparazzi. However, this is irrelevant to Al-Dar's participation in the Sunset Valley Renaissance, which was bolstered by their choice of residence.
Al-Dar has been well-endowed with the resources previously left by the Initiate househould when Kallisto built a second Naos-Stratopedon to house them. With them out of the picture, Al-Dar was able to claim the house without much resistance, and even after the Initiate household returned, neither the Initiates or the main chapter lodged protest, since Initiate household settled for the Epiteichisma style house formerly occupied by the Alkmaionids. With the house came a number of upgraded nectar makers and a batch of very high quality fruits, which was of particular interest to the engineer Anwar. Of course, Usaim being
While the Renaissance took place, it was then Al-Dar actually took the effort to build an austere mosque, having 3 minarets while having very little ornamentation inside the mosque. Although the mosque was built, it hasn't caught any major attention yet for the better: the Patrioty Party having problems inside their own ranks, namely the rift between the United Snake and Divided Snake.
