Are Heroes in Raider's Camp considered in your Land of Bondage? I ask because I currently have RC and Headquarters at Riblah in my deck, and I'm wondering if HaR discards Heroes in RC.

Raiders’ Camp
Type: Fortress • Brigade: Multicolor • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: If your human Evil Character captures a Hero, place it here. When opponent makes a successful rescue attempt or battle challenge, instead of surrendering a Lost Soul, release all Heroes from here back to owner. Does not count as redeemed soul. Play As: If your human Evil Character captures a Hero, place it here. When opponent makes a successful rescue attempt or battle challenge, instead of surrendering a Lost Soul, release all captured Heroes from here back to owner. Does not count as redeemed soul.

Headquarters at Riblah
Type: Fortress • Brigade: Multicolor • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Protect Babylonian Evil Characters in your territory from discard. During discard phase, you may discard this Fortress to discard all captured Heroes in your Land of Bondage.

Same question applies to Demonic Stronghold. I've wanted to know this as well.

Good point.

For reference:
Demonic Stronghold
Type: Fortress • Brigade: Multicolor • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: If holder's demon captures a Hero, place that Hero here. Holder's demons gain 1/1 for each Hero here. • Identifiers: Holds any number of captured Heroes

Hey,

Fortresses are not located in the Land of Bondage.  Since the captured characters are placed in the Fortress they are not in your Land of Bondage.

I agree.  Only lost souls, occupied sites, and cards place on lost souls or occupied sites are in a player's land of bondage.

Captured characters held in a Fortress are not eligible for rescue unless the ability of the Fortress says they are.  In the case of DS, no, they cannot be rescued.

In this case, when dealing with Raiders Camp or Demonic stronghold, a character that is captured is a captured hero in a fortress.  Since a fortress has a default condition of being put in your field of play, then those heroes in those fortresses are not considered Lost Souls, and they are not in your Land of Bondage.
