Dark fortresses are sites created by goblin civilizations. they, along with dark pits, take the form of simple towers surrounded by sprawling networks of trenches. Most of the population of a dark fortress is found at the top of the towers. The towers also have downward stairs, which lead to the underground part of the fortress.
The underground part of the fortress consists of oddly shaped hallways with small rooms and multiple story deep pits which are apparently graveyards. On the bottom of these pits, goblin skeletons, engraved slabs, coffins and grave goods which are mostly made of bone. Most of the settlement's trolls can usually be found loitering in the grave pits.
The main differences between dark fortresses and dark pits are in the number of towers, and in how many of them are interconnected by stairways. Dark fortresses tend to have more towers, and more of them lead to the underground housing and grave pits. Dark fortresses are usually also built around a certain structure of foreign origin.
