Halstead was initially built as a monument to the unification of the two halves of Wesnoth in 161YW. It was built over a period of twelve years in the wilderness of the western plains on top of a mountain. It was constructed by the High Council of Archmagi by drawing the monument directly out of the rock.<ref name="glory">Glory, Liberty</ref>

 The fortress itself was hundreds of feet tall, while a system of catacombs connected its four towers to the keep. For many centuries, it was never successfully assailed by Wesnoth's enemies. Over the years, it was rebuilt multiple times, such that its structure relied upon four underground supports beneath each of the towers.<ref name="glory"/>
