Apr 10, 2008 3:27:13 The only info I know of is the info in Dune Trader, but it's rather limited (just the amount of people/slaves there). Dune Trader is an interesting read for any Dark Sun fan, so I'd advise getting it anyway.

Personally I had my PCs involved with House Vordon so I did do a basic writeup of Fort Amber. It's a merchant fort. IMC it's nestled against a rock outcropping and easily defensible, but ran out of water supply after the nearby oasis seemed to be poisoned (You can easily see what adventure I'm adapting here).

The PCs got a recommendation for resolving that problem from the Fort's master, but were politely invited to inquire with house Troika once they got to Tyr. This might get them caught up into the Vordon plotline, which I like.

I have no further info on Fort Skonz. It's house Inika, so will most likely not be a fortified stronghold, but rather something more subtle.

Thanks, at least the info in Dune Trader gave me an idea of how large the forts would have to be & an idea of what kind of people should be there..

That was actually what I thought he was talking about originally. I forgot about the 2nd Ed sourcebook.
