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.

Hok's Sweep: Soldiers Race the Walkway
The moat functions as a natural defensive barrier underlining the strategic importance of the footbridge; it channels movement to a single crossing and magnifies the value of controlling that crossing during the sweep.
Atmosphere
A subtle, ominous presence — the water's stillness contrasts with the soldiers' movement and reinforces separation.
Functional Role
Natural barrier preventing alternate routes and emphasizing the footbridge as the single tactical crossing.
Symbolic Significance
Embodies separation between domains — the palace's power and the museum's contested knowledge.
Access Restrictions
Impassable by most; crossing limited to the footbridge in this moment.
Water surface glinting under daylight
The moat's width forcing reliance on the single footbridge
