No idea yet. The fort isn't my project—I was just asked to provide some support since I was gathering up people to help with the barricade. The man in charge of the project, however, is named Yuan, and he was appointed to the task by my brother, so I know he must be reliable. I would think the fort will only be used in the situation that it actually becomes necessary, though. It would be troublesome to have people stay out there all the time, since the desert is quite the walk from here.

The barricade? It's on the eastern edge of the village, in between the village and the mountains. Kind of hard to miss. [Nevermind that it's not marked on the map, sob, but let's just pretend that it is.] For now, we're only working on strengthening that, but in the future, we'll expand it to cover more of the village.
