Stronghold is a neutral alignment town with the barbarian and battle mage hero classes. Stronghold represents Krewlod.
"Stronghold towns are built by alliances of tribes and are frequented by the Barbarian and Battle Mage hero types. Armies composed of Stronghold-based units have a balanced mix of ranged and hand-to-hand attackers. With the inclusion of the stronger units, these armies are particularly well-equipped to deal with attacks on other towns." RoE manual
Stronghold's native terrain is rough.
