The day of the duel, Aethelgard's Palace Training Hall
The training hall in the Aethelgard Kingdom Palace gives a sense of grandeur, discipline, and timeless history. Set within the heart of the palace's inner courtyard, it's a vast open square framed by tall stone arches and colonnades that provide both shade and structure.
The cobblestone ground bears the marks of countless duels, sparring matches, and drills, its unevenness a reminder of generations of warriors who have honed their craft upon it.
The surrounding walls rise high, lined with windows and narrow balconies where nobles, commanders, or apprentices might watch the training below. Carved reliefs of lions, swords, and winged figures decorate the stone, embodying the spirit of Aethelgard's military pride.
