Instead of the fortress, there are numerous fortresses now, and various people have keys.

The treasures are no longer stored in the secluded cellars and tombs of the few, but guarded by the many. A new language has evolved, used to keep the treasures safe and allow those who watch over them to communicate, directly and discretely. The hieroglyphic system consists only of geometric shapes, as an homage to the interconnected data centers with their cages, racks and cabinets.
