Standing over the desolate [[Glacier]]s, the '''Aurora Palace''' is a striking and beautiful sight for adventurers in the Twilight Forest, with its walls constantly shifting in a variety of colours reaching into the sky. Beauty is only skin deep sadly, as there are dangers within who will not hesitate to defend their magical home.
The '''Aurora Palace''' is a blue-green structure rising hundreds of blocks above the [[Glacier]] biome. This structure is unique, glowing and pulsing in a variety of colours. While the exterior is pleasing to watch, the denizens within won't take nicely to intrusion.


==Features==
Inside its softly-pulsing walls you will find a series of vertical towers connected by doorways on varying levels. Stairs and platforms allow you to ascend through the building, some easily, some only through jumping and other techniques. Although, in recent times, the insides of the Aurora Palace have become more unforgiving, so preparation is needed.
As alluded to already, the most obvious and distinctive feature of the palace is what forms it. [[Aurora Block]]s make up the walls of the tower, giving the structure an ethereal appearance as the colours move and pulse in random patterns over the surface. Inside, supporting columns built from [[Aurora Pillar]]s can be seen, standing distinct from the walls with their bright, ice-like appearance, though it does not change colour. The floors and stairs are built from birch slabs.


The overall structure of the palace consists of multiple tall towers, interconnected by small doorways at varying levels within the chambers. While some rooms can be reached by simply walking up, others are built so that jumping, mining and block placement are required to reach further up. Despite the softly pulsing walls, it can be difficult to get one's bearings while exploring the palace - adventurers are strongly recommended to bring light sources to illuminate the interior, as well as some way to mark their progress as the utter lack of distinguishing features can make it very easy to get lost.
Icy enemies patrol the palace. There are floating pieces of armor and swords, also known as [[Aurora Guardian]]s, that are scattered throughout. These are equipped with various types of materials obtainable in the Twilight Forest. Sometimes one may come across floating ice cubes surrounded in icy spikes. [[Stable Ice Core]]s are common and will launch magical snowballs at the player, which can prove an annoyance for those unprepared or unaware. However, [[Unstable Ice Core]]s roam the Palace, and they only attack with melee damage. On death, these things will explode in a colorful fashion.


Alternatively, Aurora Blocks are not tough to break, so one could simply smash their way through the outside and climb their way up using their stores of other blocks - but that runs the risk of a fatal fall onto the unforgiving glacier below, as well as missing out on some of the treasures to be found in the palace.
Throughout the Palace, there are rooms with chests hidden within them. Some of these chests contain some simple loot for aiding one in their travels such as small food items or arrows, along with valuable loot such as charms. Rooms with dead-ends contain the most valuable treasure, with an enchanted weapon within them.


===Snow Queen Sanctum===
While exploring the tower, you may eventually come across the ice-caked room of the [[Snow Queen]].
Found only near the top of the palace, this area can be easily discerned by the thick blocks of {{mcw|Ice}} and {{mcw|Packed Ice}} that form a sort of lair. It is here that the [[Snow Queen]] can be found and confronted. Adventurers will need to tunnel up to reach her, but this can prove difficult as breaking the ice may release streams of freezing water, washing the incautious back down into the lower chambers.
 
==Monsters==
Icy enemies patrol the dim halls and walkways. Most common are Ice Cores, animated by frost magic and coming in two varieties - [[Stable Ice Core]]s have a distinctive halo of icy spikes and launch magical snowballs at intruders - while one is merely an annoyance, they can prove to be a deadly threat in numbers, especially as the snowballs pack enough punch to knock an unwary explorer off the narrow platforms in the palace. [[Unstable Ice Core]]s do not hold back from the fray, but instead charge in close, inflicting damage with their sharp spikes. They present an additional danger by violently exploding upon death, destroying some blocks but transforming others with the sudden release of the magical energy that bound them. Also found are [[Snow Guardian]]s, magical animus clad in armour formed of materials found elsewhere in the Twilight Forest.
 
==Treasure==
Chests are usually to be found hidden amongst the pillars in the palace. Some of these chests contain food and arrows, useful for the travels ahead, but others contain valuable loot such as [[Ironwood Ingot]]s, [[Steeleaf]] and [[Charm of Keeping|Charms of Keeping]]. Explorers have reported that the most valuable treasures are often found in the dead-end chambers, with unique enchanted weapons such as the fragile but deadly [[Glass Sword]].


==Progression==
==Progression==
Explorers that have not defeated an [[Alpha Yeti]] will find the Glacier cloaked in a ferocious blizzard, hindering movement considerably. Even those who battle through this to reach the palace will be defeated, as a magical force field prevents any attempt to damage the walls or the guardians within. Touching some of the [[Alpha Yeti Fur|enchanted fur of a slain Alpha Yeti]] lifts these enchantments.
While using the [[Progression]] system, the entire [[Glacier]] is protected by an ice storm, while the Aurora Palace and monsters are protected by magic. Players must defeat the [[Alpha Yeti]] to surpass this protection.
 
Defeating the Snow Queen ends the Snow Forest part of the Twilight Forest journey. In order to explore the [[Twilight Highlands]], adventurers will also need to find and kill the [[Hydra]] and [[Ur-Ghast]] as well.

==Image Reel==
Players claiming victory over the [[Snow Queen]] will end the toxic rainstorm over the [[Highlands]], allowing access to the [[Troll Caves]].
