Maze fortress

The Servants of the blood gods decided to be a bit creative with their fortresses, building them like mazes filled with traps and other surprises.

Usually made out of wood, there tend to be one per larger settlement such as a town or a city, tho seeing two or three tends to be a rarity. Wile they originally were meant to hide the people during an attack, they are specifically meant for the religious officials these days.

General layout:

The size varies, but the fortress usually consists of wooden walls build into a large maze, with trapepd corners, dead ends and spots with openings in the walls, where the defenders can get in and shoot at the incoming attackers.
Smewhat off the centre is the main area, where the people hide, locked in by walls made to act like doors while looking like dead ends from the outside.
In the centre of this area lays a smalls torage structure with food, water, weapons and other supplies needed to survive the attack.

Hidden rooms/ entrances:

There is a tunnel going from the storage structure out of the fortress, somewhere safe, like the nearby jungle, behind a hill, or a secluded ruin. It is meant to send someone to request help from the nearest settlements, for bringing in supplies during a raid, or to escape when the enemy is dangerously close, or decided to set the fortress on fire.

Defenses:

The fortress is usually guarded and maintained by at least 12 soldier, who will guide people through the maze and defend them during an attack.
