Fortress Guards are found only at the Black Knights' Fortress. They wear black cloaks and resemble generic town guards, and have various weapons such as swords, spears, and halberds.

The player must disguise themselves as one of these guards to get into the fortress during the Black Knights' Fortress quest. They are unaggressive, unlike the Black Knights found near them.
