MAP14: Sanctuary of Horae is the fourteenth map of Skulltiverse. It was designed by Shawny and uses the music track " ".

Other points of interest
Ammo is spawning throughout combat events in the designated places.

A room in the western area of the map, south of the cave entrance with berserk and health bonuses, is opened after the second event is triggered.

Secrets

 * 1) The cavern area in the west has two monster closets. The northern one with two pinkies has one different usable texture with an alcove behind it containing an invincibility. (sector 1354) Note: This area is closed during combat and will open (depending on the current event) after 1 minute and 38 seconds or 2 minutes and 17 seconds after starting "an event", so it is best used for cleanup.
 * 2) The pillar with the soulsphere (sector 1597) is lowered by shooting a switch high up in the super shotgun room located south from the pillar itself. This can be done from multiple areas (with proper elevation).

Inspiration and development
The idea came to fruition after seeing available textures and some brainstorming/"prototyping". First concept was a purely snowy map, but became slightly more interesting featuring "season changing" mechanic later in development.

Using conveyour belts and "close-wait-open" door action for event timing, also used in similar way again in MAP21 and 32, is quite a departure from mapper's previous work.

The map itself is an arena with time based wave combat divided into 2 events that can be done in any order.

These events are summer and winter themed with specific set of monsters and a weapon.


 * 1) (Player gains plasma gun and fights Imps, Hell knights, Pain elementals/Lost souls, Mancubi and Revenents in the winter event)
 * 2) (Player gains rocket launcher and fight Imps, Hell barons, Cacodemons, Arachnotrons and Archviles in the summer event)

Trivia

 * After its creation, the map was named after Greek goddesses,, representing the passing of the seasons and of time in general.
