Fort Forinthry is a player-built fort north of the Jolly Boar Inn in the south-eastern part of the Wilderness. It's the central location of the ongoing Fort Forinthry storyline and will be expanded with subsequent instalments of the story. The fort is built on the area that used to be called Grieving Vale.

The New Foundations quest needs to be completed in order to continue constructing the fort. Players are able to establish five buildings, with more coming in the future. Currently available buildings are the Workshop, Town Hall, Kitchen, Chapel, and Command Centre. Each building can be upgraded up to tier 3 with the corresponding Construction level, providing various benefits.

Despite being surrounded by the Wilderness in the east, north, and west, the dangers of the Wilderness don't apply inside the fort. However, the fort's northern gate opens into the Wilderness.

The season that players experience within the fort can be changed by talking to Zoe who can be found by the south-western tree outside of the Town Hall.

Free-to-play adventurers who build any portion of Fort Forinthry as members will see the structures they built and can enter the Wilderness through the north gate, but they cannot interact with any of the facilities.

Other players' followers can't be seen while inside the fort.

Building materials

The construction within Fort Forinthry uses special construction materials that can be sourced from various logs and limestone.

Protean planks may be used to construct refined planks of all tiers.

Timber

Timber materials can be created from logs or planks on the sawmill within the Workshop.

12 logs/planks make 3 refined planks which make 1 frame of the same type of timber.

Log	Plank	Refined plank	Timber frame
Logs	Plank	Refined planks	Wooden frame
Oak logs	Oak plank	Refined Oak planks	Oak frame
Teak logs	Teak plank	Refined Teak planks	Teak frame
Mahogany logs	Mahogany plank	Refined Mahogany planks	Mahogany frame

Stonemasonry

4 limestones/limestone bricks make 1 stone wall segment.

Buildings

Before the player can start work on any of the buildings (with the exception of the tier 1 Workshop), they are required to complete the quest New Foundations. In order to build any higher tiers of buildings, the player must have built the previous tier. Except for the fortifications built during New Foundations, all building jobs are repeatable.

Players can interact with the Fort Forinthry blueprints table at the Workshop to start a new construction in the fort. Each building has a Construction level requirement. Boosts can be used to meet construction level requirements for all buildings. The boost is only required when creating the blueprints and the full experience will be awarded during the construction phase regardless of level. However, the assist system cannot be used to bypass level requirements for creating blueprints.

Each building awards a certain amount of Construction experience and requires a certain amount of progress, depending on its tier and level requirement. Higher level buildings require more progress and award more experience. While upgrading or reinforcing a building, 80% of the experience is given over the course of the construction process. The remaining 20% are awarded on the last building tick.

Interacting with the shiny optimal construction hotspot while upgrading or reinforcing a building awards up to 20% more experience and increases construction speed by 40%, compared to the construction hotspot.

The total materials needed to complete all buildings (including lodestone, but not the outer wall) are as follows:
