MAP DESCRIPTION:

Castle Entrance Hall is built with precious materials, rich in decorations and displays the power of the King in a blatant way.

Armors, statues of Heroes and Winged Lions refer to the military strength of the realm, while the rich carpets and decorative inlays show the skill of the royal craftsmen.

In the hall there are six different paths.

Near the entrance, passing through the stone arches, you enter the areas of the guards and the servants, while advancing along the corridor you will access the Inner Gardens.

Going up the stairs, the elegant side doors will accompany you inside the royal areas,where we will find Libraries, Meeting Rooms and private apartments.

The large door decorated with seahorses, surrounded by guards day and night, is the access to the ballrooms and the Throne Room

NOTES:

• Castle Entrance Hall is the first hall of the Castle that we will then enrich with new locations in the coming months
• This map is connected to the already published Throne Room
• Armed guards watch day and night the six accesses: determining the patrol shifts can give the players an interesting Stealth experience.
• Statues and armors could be animated by the Magicians of the castle or by you to fight
• In the area there are many corners where to hide and different levels to make the fights dynamic and interesting.
• The Symbolism of the various elements indicates that this realm, at least on the surface, believes in the values of Justice and Heroism and is based on a strong warlike culture.

January poll maps a bit late, but big projects take time, right?

You really appreciated the first map of this castle, the Throne room, and many of you asked us to add more areas.

We decided to please you and we are happy to announce that the series of maps "Castle of the Realm" will be completed!

In the coming months you will be able to explore one by one all the areas of the castle, from the Royal Rooms to the Barracks, from the Gardens to the Dungeons!

It will be a fairly long project and we hope you will support us in large numbers. We look forward to your suggestions on which locations to offer you and what kind of adventures you would like to create by exploring the Castle!

Don't worry, as for the Adventurer's Alley series we will continue to publish diversified content and we will not focus only on this one, so keep giving us your feedback and suggestions on what kind of map you would like us to draw!

That’s all for this week dear Fellow Darkish and we wish you as always great adventures and NAT20!
