This mighty stronghold, located at the Reach’s southeast corner, teems with Forsworn. You may attack through the front gate, which lies to the west, or you may breach the fort more covertly by several methods, such as the southwest sewer entrance, which leads into the muster.

Note that Fort Sungard is a point of contention between the Stormcloaks and Imperials during the Civil War quest line, and therefore may be populated by either Stormcloak or Imperial troops instead of Forsworn.

Exterior

A host of Forsworn warriors and archers guard this stronghold, so don’t rush in. Remain just outside the main gate, picking off archers from afar and luring out warriors to cut them down in turn. Fight hard to secure the outer grounds, swipe a potion from a cart inside the walls, then begin storming the fort’s many separate interior sections.

Fort Sungard Annex

This three-story structure features two chests on its bottom floor. There’s nothing in the middle floor’s holding cell, but you can get some good lockpicking practice. Exit via the ground floor door to access an exterior Crafting area.

Fort Sungard Tower

Loot the chest on the tower’s entry level, then go upstairs to find a bit more loot on its upper floor. Head all the way downstairs afterward and exit via the basement door to go outside, close to the stronghold’s oubliette.

Fort Sungard Oubliette

The oubliette stands outside of the fort’s walls, just to the east. There’s little of interest inside the structure, but if you survive the fall into the pit (the Become Ethereal Shout helps), a Skill Book will be yours. Use the key found near the Skill Book to open the nearby gate and make your way out to fresh air.
