Sorry to be so green at this, but I am. Do I just send a scout into the City of Shadows? Do I need to attack after I send him in? I tried several single player games to try to practice this, but the Faerun map I have on my hard drive does not generate the fortresses.

The quickest way is to just move the scout in, rather than sneak into the province (you can ctrl-left click on the province when you move to override the default of sneaking).
It doesn't need to be a scout - any cheap and handy unit will do. The essence of the trick is that when putting castles on maps, there's no way to setup the map so that the troops in the province either patrol, or break siege, the way a player would. So no matter how wimpy your attacking force, you can know that you'll be able to take the province, and its gold income, without fighting the indy force inside.
