	In addition to a Senate motion, there are two Imperial titles able to announce the construction of a new fortification: the [[Master of the Koboldi]] and the [[Legion Engineer]]. The [[Imperial Master of Works]], the Legion Engineer, and the Master of the Koboldi are each also able to announce the [[#Improvement\|improvement]] of a single fortification each season.		In addition to a Senate motion, there are two Imperial titles able to announce the construction of a new fortification: the [[Master of the Koboldi]] and the [[Legion Engineer]]. The [[Imperial Master of Works]], the Legion Engineer, and the Master of the Koboldi are each also able to announce the [[#Improvement\|improvement]] of a single fortification each season.

			The Legion Engineer can, when announcing the construction of a new fortification or upgrade of an existing fortification, call upon the expertise of the [[Tamazi]]. They can instruct the Tamazi to implement designs from Axos, with walls thick enough to conceal passages and hidden chambers within them. Some of these passages would conceal traps, others would protect hidden sally ports used to bedevil any enemy foolish enough to attempt a siege. All casualties inflicted by the garrison during an attack on the region containing the bastion would be increased by a fifth. This increases the cost of the fortification by 20 wains of mithril and 60 crowns. Alternatively, they can instruct the Tamazi to work mithril runes into the walls. The bastion would be protected from certain kinds of malign magic. The bastion would take half the normal damage from magical attacks such as [[Thunderous Tread of the Trees]]. This also increases the cost of the fortification by 20 wains of mithril and 60 crowns.

			===Decommission===
			* '''A fortification can be decommissioned with a Senate motion'''
			If the Senate pass a motion to decommission a fortification, then it no longer costs upkeep; the garrison is immediately stood down; and the bastion no longer impedes attempts to claim a region. Without upkeep, the bastion will begin to degrade; losing a tenth of its maximum integrity each season until it reaches 1000 and collapses.

			A decommissioned fortification can be recommissioned by a Senate motion, or any title which is able to announce the construction of a new fortification. The upkeep resumes; a garrison of 0 strength begins raising, resupplying at its normal rate; and the bastion can receive emergency resupply as normal.

	Emergency resupply of a garrison requires an appropriately worded Senate motion (or a title using a power devolved from the Senate such as the [[Quartermaster General of the Imperial Armies]]), using either [[mithril]] or [[weirwood]] at the same rates as an army. As with an army, the first 20 wains of weirwood or mithril in a single season restore 25 strength for each wain allocated. The next 20 wains provide an additional 20 strength each an so on, up to a maximum of 100 wains in a single season. In addition to materials, emergency resupply costs 2 crowns per wain. The rate of emergency resupply resets each season so the mithril and weirwood spent in a subsequent season is not affected by earlier actions.
