Storm-Split Cliff Mine Mouth

The approach is all sharp angles and broken footing—narrow ledges hacked into the cliff face, splintered timber landings, and half-rotted steps pinned into stone with old pitons. Below, whitewater detonates against boulders and scattered rock spines, sending spray up in cold bursts that slick the nearest edges and make every misstep feel final.

At the upper reaches of the map, the mine entrance yawns like a bruise in the cliff—dark, sheltered, and unnervingly quiet compared to the roar outside. Cracked stone and debris fields suggest recent collapse, while a rusting track line and a fractured loading platform hint at a once-busy operation that ended suddenly. Wind funnels through the ravine-like gaps, and the whole site feels like it’s still breaking apart in slow motion—one gust, one tremor, one wrong footfall away from disaster.

Intended Use:

This map presents vertical, high-tension skirmishes where movement is as important as combat. The ledges and broken platforms naturally create choke points, ambush angles, and “all-or-nothing” positions for ranged attackers—until the wind and spray start turning clean shots into risky gambles. It’s ideal for encounters that reward careful spacing, forced movement tactics, and hard choices: take the exposed route for speed, or the safer route that funnels you into an enemy-held pinch point.
