A1. Battery. This isolated building held the forts canons on the top level and the gunpowder stores in the undercroft beneath. The tower was used for sighting targets. During the siege the gunpowder stores exploded taking out the interior floors and the roof of the battery. Now the empty shell of a building is filled with rubble.

A2. Gunpowder Bridge. The bridge was seriously damaged when the battery exploded and the flooring is gone in places. The bridge can only hold the weight of one armored person at a time. 

A3. Barracks and Common room. The large building has a barracks and storage on the lower level and a common room on the top floor. The East Tower has gardrobes on the lower level, and bathing facilities above. The West tower is the non-comm quarters. 

A4. Kitchen. The bottom level is storage, water cisterns, and a once famous wine cellar. The upper level was the kitchen was a bit primitive as the fortress never secured a Halfling cooking staff as intended. As a result the garrison mostly ate rations and stews and mockingly cursed the name of the appointed chef.

A5. Parade Ground. Because the cold makes martial drills outside impossible most of the year this building was dedicated to drills and weapons practice. The lower floor is used for storage, and once housed the Val Kuldor end of the tunnel to Osst Ar. 

A6. Shot tower.  This is a four story tower. On the top level is a forge where iron is melted. On the North wall there is a shaft from the top to the bottom of the tower. That molten iron is dropped into the shaft. The iron forms a near perfect sphere, the outer crust of which cools solid as it drops. At the bottom is a basin of water that cooled the sphere in a blast of steam. A small chute/ramp large enough for a cannonball (or vermin) runs through the fortress walls and connects the basement of the shot tower with  A1. Battery at the lower end. At least it did, now anything rolled into the chute will drop out at A2. Gunpowder bridge. 

A7. Command tower. The fortress commander and his staff occupied this four story tower. The upper story was rooms. The middle story were dedicated to offices, paperwork, maps and such. The lower story was used as a cistern. In the winter snow melt from the rooftops is channeled into the cistern, when this is insufficient Dwarves would shovel snow into the cistern directly.
