Do you think there any castles or fortresses in the Disputed Lands not directly linked to an existing walled settlement? Are their any in the lower Rhoyne territories controlled by the Volantene?

Disputed Lands – maybe, but there’s no textual evidence. Likely depends on terrain – are there any hills or fords or other geographical features which would make a fortress useful? Or is it a featureless plain where mobility and flexibility are key and fortresses just limit you?

Lower Rhoyne – far more likely, although again, no direct textual evidence. Forks in the river, fords, bends in the river where the speed of the current changes, etc., rivers offer far more locations where one would want a fortress.
