Underground Fortress near Breeg
![]()
Lay out:
Level 1:
All exits are covered with an Illusionary Wall. There are three main exits, two situated on the western side of the mountain, one a little above ground level and the other approximately 250 yards higher up the mountain. The third exit lies a mile to the east, emerging on the south side of the mountain range. This exit is reached by a mile long tunnel and is mainly used for supplies and as an escape route. This tunnel has numerous doors within it and at each of these thick doors is a guard post. Every tunnel or hallway is at least 10 feet high.
The main exit is the lowest one of the western openings, being about 10 yards wide on the outside. The exit is reached from three hallways, all 10 yards wide, ending in a funnel. This funnel is 30 yards long and has arrow slots every yard on each side, starting 10 yards from the entrance. The ceiling of this funnel has several smaller openings through which burning oil can be pored. Each hallway has equally heavy doors set within them, to be closed if the first two doors have been breached. The hallways originate from a huge room 70 by 35 yards, from where the companies assemble to go outside. On the floor of this vast room there are markings indicating where each company must assemble. In case the inner doors are also breached this is where a stand will be made until the inner defenses can be activated.
Two hallways, 10 yards wide, reach deeper within the mountain. After 20 yards both split up, away from each other, rounding a large stone structure, further details about this defense structure on level 2. Behind this structure the hallway continues to the east to the third exit and the supply rooms. The supply rooms on the ground level are behind heavy doors with ramps to the first and second level. The doors are covered with Illusionary walls and the halls leading to the rooms can be caved in at the first sign of trouble.
Behind the thick walls of the first level are the bunkrooms of the troops, only reachable from the second level; five rooms on both the north and south side of the defense structure. Each room can house an entire company of 20. At both sides there also exist large training rooms (15 by 30 yards) with enough equipment to train 50 men simultaneously, and dining halls of equal size. From these hallways there are ramps leading up to the second and third level. On several places movable spiked boards are set on the walls. When the halls are breached these boards will be used as cover after the first line of defense has retreated, granting the troops behind them 50% cover.
