Palace Moat

Hok's Palace Moat

The moat cuts a wide water barrier between Hok's Palace and the adjacent museum. A footbridge spans its surface, narrowing access into a tactical choke point. Soldiers charge along the palace's second-floor walkway toward the bridge, rifles ready and boots echoing overhead. Daylight glints off the water as this divide shifts from quiet perimeter to armed gauntlet, exposing crossers to patrols above.
