It was founded during the Undead War by Blackbone, representing the , and his crew of wither skeletons, representing the , in a joint occupation under Blackbone's leadership. It is notable as the site of the and raid which led to Herobrine and Blackbone's deaths, ending the war ("Goodbye"). During the Nether Civil War, the wither skeletons fought pigmen soldiers at Blackbone Keep to retrieve Herobrine's head ("Hard Pill to Swallow").
==Information==
The camp is made primarily out of Nether blocks and has flags of both the and the floating around. A small number of trees can also be found inside, one close to the large gate. There seems to also be a deactivated beacon like structure. Before the events of Goodbye, the base served as the primary camp of Blackbone's band of Wither Skeletons and was a jointly held territory of the Undead and the Nether Horde. However, it was briefly claimed by the Frostbourne before Herobrine's counterattack, and is revealed to be abandoned as of Hard Pill to Swallow. However, as of Gotta Get Outta Here, the map reveals the camp and the Wither Forest as a whole is claimed by the Nether Empire.
==History==
The camp first appeared in Goodbye, where members of the Nether Horde, lead by the Undead general Blackbone, were camping out awaiting further instructions. They are besieged by the Frostbourne, and slaughtered to send a message to Herobrine. Herobrine comes to the camp where he is engaged by Ser Patrick, which he defeats with relative ease, stabbing him through the chest and punching him several times in the face. However, the Ender Watchers, alongside Lady Azura and Stella, come just before Herobrine can kill him, and engage. Herobrine battles Ceris in hopes of winning, however is defeated and decapitated by the Matriarch.
In Hard Pill to Swallow, the camp reappears as a fighting ground between the pigmen and Wither Skeletons, who both want Herobrine's head for their leaders. Naeus engages Hogsworth for the head and defeats him, sending him running from the fight back to the False Pig King, the sole survivor of his squadron. In Gotta Get Outta Here, The Wither Forest, and the camp are shown to hold a sizable Nether horde army, which ends up being sent along with several other smaller armies to attack Hilda's Outpost, all seemingly under the command of Hogsworth.1 However it is also shown that both the camp, and the Wither forest as a whole, similarly to the Desert Villages, never got resupplied with troops. This lead to the Frostbourne moving through the area with no resistance during there counteroffensive.2
==Trivia==
*The one-armed Wither Skeleton that appears in Hard Pill to Swallow was a member who survived the attack by the Frostbourne in Goodbye.
