The courtyard before you is enveloped in battle.
>>5342258All around you is fire and the flailing and threshing of limbs, as if the night has come to reap a harvest of blood. Did the halberdiers not hold the gate?
You see men that walk like beasts, Jaguar-Men, and plumed birds with burning skulls in their beaks and wings of flayed flesh. Many of the Half-Men - for this is what you assume they are - seem to be painted blue, like the woad of the Tattooed Isles of Old, the Painted Men of Pretanic Isles, Prydain or Brython. Blue must be the colour of ritual sacrifice amongst these Half-Men.
