Home to the aggressive Naga, the Naga Courtyard is an impressive sight for new adventurers in the Twilight Forest. Covering a rough 40m² area, they consist mainly of stone blocks, both uncut and dressed Nagastone, with various patterns etched with a distinct snake motif, either in reverence, or perhaps in warning, of the monstrous resident within the walls. No exact age has been determined but given the cracked and crumbling blocks in some places, these courtyards must be at least centuries old.

Typically there is no entrance with which one can stroll into the courtyard, but as the walls are merely decorated stone, it is not difficult to break in. Once inside, there can be found tall hedges throughout the area, with small water wells and stone torches. Standing over the hedges are thin columns of Nagastone, placed seemingly at random without any regard for design or aesthetics.

Adventurers who reach the centre of the courtyard should be prepared for combat as the territorial Naga will be roused. In its efforts to destroy intruders, the Naga will not hesitate to smash through the hedges and columns to attack. Even the thick walls of the courtyard are not immune to the Naga's rampage. Strangely, it will not pursue anyone who flees beyond the walls, suggesting that there may be some hidden enchantment confining the Naga to its garden prison, or it is simply content to chase off intruders rather than hunt them down in the Forest.

Progression

Explorers have not found any magical protection over the courtyards. As such, the Naga Courtyard is essentially the first step for those adventurers who wish to delve deeper into the various boss creatures that reside in the dimension.

Successfully defeating a Naga and then touching one of its scales appears to disperse the magical barrier that protects the Lich Towers, opening up the next step on the road to glory.
