The person who draws the Stars "Minor Estates" card will be in charge of a flying fortress. Note that, at present, no one knows how to move these things but it will still be a large castle all the same with a wing of aerial troops.
I'll be sketching this out this week before trying to model it in 3D. While I'm kicking around ideas for the fortress, please share any thoughts you may have on this. Remember it might be your fortress
Here's a few of my thoughts so far:

Here's a few of my thoughts so far:
- The aerial troops will have caves in the lower part of the floating rock with one or two entrances. These entrances will be on the underside of the rock. They will have drop down gates to block access with sally ports near the gates so that you can get a party out to defend them if needed.
- UNder side of the rock will have a few observation barbettes.
- Topside will have access to the aerial troop cave although that is just for emergencies and is not the prime entrance.
- Top side will have a garden and exercise yards.
- Quarters for all but the aerial mounts are on buildings on the top side.
- It is a fortress so everything will be defensible.
- May not put walls on the top, though, since the only way to get to the fortress is by air which makes walls kind of pointless.
- There will be various poles for putting out netting in battle.
- There will significant internal passages, including a huge cistern for rain water.
- The fortress was designed to serve as a floating base for aerial troops but also to send in foot soldiers so it can hold several thousand troops in a pinch.
- It will have some sort of boarding ramp for offloading troops in an attack.
