Constructed in 1630 by the renowned construction company Measure & Fortify, Barb Turret stands as one of a series of colossal fortresses guarding against the rapidly expanding Tendrils of Taurquion. This immense, otherworldly-looking fortress resembles something from Mechanus, with its spinning barbed gears, sprockets, and an array of intricate machinery. Much like Chain Jack and Bark Slice, Barb Turret was built to impede the advance of the Taurquion.

The Barb Turret is a fortified concrete bastion reinforced with adamantine rebar. The site features iron-shod covered walkways connecting a decentralized network of towers and blockhouses. Its most formidable defenses are the swirling clouds of adamantine shards, resembling tornadoes, that cut down vegetation and nearly anything in their path. These destructive phenomena are known as shredstorms, first engineered during the Creation War as war machines against the primordials. The Barb Turret also houses an array of artillery that launch canisters and bombs filled with iron shards, often coated with toxins detrimental to plant life.
