    Interesting question, which the answer thread will be on my mind for
    some time. I am recently fortifying a Guild holding and my question
    was, apart from the above one,

    how does a fortified guild holding look??

    I mean would all the warehouses be forts, seems unlikely, more like
    all stone buildings. How would the shops look? Since most of a guild
    holding consists of many small enterprises (in my opinion) I wonder
    how it should look like fortified?

    Have you ever seen the Tournen Source Book? In the Map of the City of
    Haes there are a couple of warehouses named. One has a wall around it. The
    first thing that I did for my players when I saw that was tell them that is was
    fortified. What does anyone else think?

    How would fortified Guild holdings look? In the maps in the domain
    packs they have the guild offices in the capital city, an example is
    Tuornen where the guild buildings are shown as fortified - ie. like
    small forts within the city itself. I can only assume that if the
    authorities had any trouble with the guild, then the army would storm
    it or besiege it, which I doubt the guild would be able to do
    anything about either way.

    I just picked up this book yesterday and read it, and although no
    fortified holdings were specifically mentioned, it really does look like these
    are heavily fortified. In fact every holding in the city (including the
    law/castle) looks fortifide and according to the history presented in there,
    it's justified!

    I think that when you "fortify" a holding, you are just making the holding
    more secure. A fortified temple holding does not mean that every hamlet's
    temple is turned into a castle. The locks could be replaced with better ones,
    more guards hired, etc. The main temple would be turned into an actual fort,
    with stone walls, archers, and the whole nine yards.

    Transfuring this idea to a guild holding is not all that difficult. Each of
    the small businesses gets more security, and the regent's main base of
    operations, be it a mechant's guild or a thief's guild, gets turned into a
    fort.
