Only during Prep phase.

That's what I was thinking. Just wanted to make sure.

No. That's why Tower of Thebez specifies that you can return a character to your territory when attacked.

That was my thought on the matter but I saw someone make a RA from a fortress in a tourney once. It could be that they were going strait from upkeep to battle phase.

That is technically illegal, but for most situations, there is no difference between doing that and taking it out of the fort, putting it in territory, then attacking. The one exception I could see is if your opponent wanted to CM that Hero in territory, but couldn't in the Fortress. I would rule that you would have to allow for that if it was your opponent's intent. Similar to not rushing from art activation to battle, etc.
