	Siege weapons and mobile fortifications employed by the [[Forgotten Wing Company]]. '''Chesstowers''' are short and wide towers made of stone, wood and other light materials made lighter with magic, and are enchanted against fire, catapults and arrows. They have superior crenelations, murder holes, enchantments to set themselves ablaze along with anyone trying to climb them, and anti-siege engine spells. Their most notable feature is that they're light enough to be lifted and redeployed, making them mobile fortifications. There are currently twenty-seven made, some of which have been commissioned to look like rooks, bishops, and other chess pieces.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/03/30/8-77-b/ Chapter 8.77 B]</ref>		Siege weapons and mobile fortifications employed by the [[Forgotten Wing Company]].
