Ancient and forlorn, the '''Goblin Knight Strongholds''' rest amongst the unnaturally dense canopy of the [[Dark Forest]]. They can be difficult to spot amongst the darkness with little remaining above ground apart from broken walls and cracked bricks. Beneath the surface however, is a vast complex of rooms and hallways and tombs. Some explorers have noted a similarity to the twisting [[Labyrinth]]s that lie beneath the [[Twilight Swamp]], but these underground fortresses provide a very different challenge.

The entrance into the stronghold is always protected by a strange, possibly technological shield that is immune to all damage. Nearby however is a pedestal carved with images of some of the monstrous creatures that inhabit the Twilight Forest - an adventurer that wishes to explore the stronghold need only place a trophy taken from one of these slain foes to deactivate the shield.

The stronghold itself is mainly built with stone brick floors and ceilings, cracked and dusty from the passage of untold centuries. Uniquely, the walls are built from [[Underbrick]], a more detailed form of {{mcw|Brick Block|Bricks}} though time has not left these untouched, with cracks and mossy patches scattered across the walls. Many different rooms have been found in strongholds, described below.

Wooden tables and chairs are scattered about this large room, along with large stone fireplaces, cold and empty.

===Atrium===

===Atrium===

A large room built in two levels. Some have a tree growing in the centre while others are larger and rectangular in shape, with no decorations or features other than staircases that lead down to the lower levels of the stronghold. Multiple passages can branch off from these rooms.

Sometimes the hallways end in a small room with multiple stone columns on the walls, with a much larger one situated facing the passage, perhaps some kind of monument or statue. Occasionally, treasure chests can be found here, as well as a [[Helmet Crab]] nest.

Goblins have usurped the original inhabitants of these strongholds, as the name of the place implies. [[Block and Chain Goblin]]s pack a surprising punch despite their diminutive stature, while others overcome this natural shortcoming by riding on the shoulders of their comrades, called [[Goblin Knight]]s by adventurers who have faced them. The other unique creature that infest the dusty hallways are [[Helmet Crab]]s, small but vicious critters with diamond hard shells that can overwhelm an overzealous explorer. Other than that, most other common monsters are not usually found in a stronghold, other than {{mcw|Creeper|Creepers}}.

Exploring the Dark Forest seems daunting enough with its extreme darkness, but this is compounded by dark strands of magic that renders explorers utterly blind upon setting foot beneath the [[Twilight Forest Trees#Darkwood Tree|Darkwood Trees]]. Only by defeating a [[Twilight Lich]] will this foul magic be dispelled. Adventurers will also need to bring with them a trophy of a slain foe to unlock the shield protecting a stronghold - handily, it appears that once placed, the shield is permanently disabled, allowing the trophy to be taken back in hand before proceeding into the stronghold.
