| Description:
| A HLDM map I've made being heavily inspired by Peter Hajba's Razorback,
| a track from Unreal Tournament 99. I wanted to show my idea of how it'd look
| like as a 3D environment. The map is a floating island in the middle of nowhere,
| with a fortress embedded into it. Lots of spikes, metal, rock and blobs of
| arcane energy all over the place! Enjoy!
|
| Installation:
| Either:
| Extract the `valve` folder inside the archive into your
| `...\Steam\SteamApps\common\Half-Life` directory.
| Or:
| Navigate into the archive's `valve` folder and extract
| everything inside into the aforementioned directory.
|
| Note: the `mapsrc` folder contains the map's source file and the necessary info
| in case you want to make your own edits to the map.
| The folder isn't necessary to install the map and can be safely ignored.

BACKSTORY
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Aeons ago this fortress stood still, in a land long forgotten, a land that was to
| be ravaged by an oncoming war. The cruel order of knights that took shelter in this
| creation of rock and metal was known for two things: their powerful sorcery and
| their terrifying severity, even to their own. Few survived the intense trainings
| that took place in the walls of the fortress, so only the strongest would remain.
|
| Time went on, and the war came closer. To take the foe by surprise,
| ancient knowledge was put to use and arcane rituals were performed.
| Four great obelisks had been constructed with immense arcane power trapped inside.
| Apparently immense enough to take the fortress off the ground.
|
| Little is known about what happened afterwards, but the fortress, along with the
| piece of ground that served foundation to it, ended up in a place far far away from
| us. The land that surrounded it was no more around, as well as those who used to
| inhabit it. The fourth obelisk had also mysteriously disappeared, only leaving a
| hanging chain as the sole memory of itself.
