This battlemap depicts a once-magnificent palatial entrance, now reduced to a grim and bloody battlefield. Opulent marble floors are cluttered with the detritus of war—shattered shields, dropped halberds, and the torn remnants of magnificent royal tapestries. Massive, scarred pillars provide excellent heavy cover, while the wide central aisle offers zero protection, forcing strategic and tactical movement along the flanking colonnades. Game Masters can utilize the structural damage and scattered weaponry to create patches of difficult terrain, while the shredded tapestries can be used to obstruct line of sight or hide ambushing foes. The deeply scarred pillars suggest a recent and violent siege, making this the perfect map to discover the grim aftermath of an invasion or to stage a desperate defense against an overwhelming breach into the inner sanctum.
