conuly:

YOU DON'T NEED TO TELL ME THAT THE FORTRESS IS LARGE AND IMPOSING.

The word "fortress" is enough to suggest both those things. Save your description for the next time the protagonists stop by a cute and dainty fortress.

cactuswatcher:

The cute and dainty fortress stood on the hill before them in the cloudless moonlight.

"So cozy, cheerful and welcoming!" exclaimed Lord Freddy. "Our mildly irksome foe, Sir Sydney, must surely be within. Let us start the preparations for a lavish brunch to draw him and his army of jolly-good chums out in the morn."

…It just writes itself!

hudebnik: Fight fiercely, Hahvahd, fight fight fight...

darkoshi: That sounds like the start of a jolly good story!

cellio: Does the Barbie line include a fortress? It should! Surely a Barbie fortress would be cute and dainty!

hudebnik: And pink?

cellio: Well of course. I don't think they're allowed to make non-pink Barbie stuff.

Context is guarded by Narnian Mice and the Rabbit of Caerbannog.

The fortress was very mindful, very demure.

I'm now thinking about the Klingon embassy from Futurama episode A Taste of Freedom.
