Player reference / Strongholds, Settlements and Realms
Description and lore
Fortified sites hold chosen passes, ports or crossings along a realm's strategic approaches.
Border defenses make sense when the route they protect can be seen. A narrow crossing and a harbor entrance ask for different arrangements.
Their importance lies in what depends on them: a settlement behind the pass, a usable crossing or access to a port. Their reach follows the sites actually established.

Strongholds, Settlements and Realms · Alpha v44 reference
Requirements: Named passes, ports, crossings or other strategic approaches; existing or constructed defensive sites.
Construction: Use established sites or build their required defensive components.
Use: Protects the named strategic approaches and settlements or routes behind them.
Limits: Other approaches remain exposed; a breach or bypass changes the affected route or threat notes.
A defended crossing interrupts the long route, its watch position facing arriving traffic.
