Huntsman's Fortress

Huntsman's Fortress is a Breton fortress and gladiator pit in the Systres. Its courtyard area serves as a battleground. The fortress is found on the northwest corner of Whalefall in High Isle and Amenos.

There are various beasts kept in cages around the arena, such as a spider, a kwama forager, two echalettes, a nirnblooded senche, a senche-tiger, a troll, and a welwa. However, they are never released into the arena to fight.

It is a 4v4 and 8v8 battleground released in Update 44.

Layout

The layout is made up of circular paths with a few inclines and walls around them. Both teams spawn on high ledges on the southwest and northeast. The central moat has a wooden staircase on each side leading up to a wooden bridge that crosses on top of it. Under the bridge is an swampy pool area which deals ramping continuous oblivion damage to players inside, all friendly healing is negated by Heal Absorption. The Northwestern area is slightly elevated.

The Capture Flags in Domination are placed on the northwest and southeast areas. The Capture Flags in Crazy King are placed on the wooden bridge, both wooden staircases and on the northwest and southeast areas.
