== Fortresses ==
Fortresses are built for war. In pre-modern times, fortresses were usually built as houses for soldiers and as armories. In modern times, some scientific institutions are built as fortresses. This means that in neo-modern and magical societies, there might be libraries containing magical information, or enchanted locations that might be as well protected as a modern military institution. For libraries, this usually means they are built underground. For magical locations, they are either surrounded with a 40' wallor otherwise dimensionally locked. This can even include aerial locations, with a 40' thick sphere built and suspended around the location.
Fortresses in Iron Age or medieval settings are generally walled. Colonial-era forts are more generally fortified, with walls surrounding the top as well as the sides. This protects from aerial bombardment. Colonial-era through magical fortresses all need to be protected against teleportation, as these are all considerations with magical warfare. Neo-modern fortresses are often underground, and some of them are connected together or to the surface by series of portals, as opposed to tunnels. Magical fortresses tend to be extremely well-protected, and the best of them are on alternate planes, or even private demiplanes.
