The Battle Map

Battle Map

The strategic display Rosetta consults, showing only four teams left beside the war mages.

Story so far

When Justice Light presses her to commit to the attack, Rosetta sighs and looks again at the battle map. It shows her the state of Faction Wars in a single glance: four teams left, not including The War Mages — the NPCs, The Princess Posse, The Dream (as good as defeated), and The Reavers.

That picture is what forces her decision. It shows both how little is left to fight for and how close the whole crawl is to ending, framing her question of whether there is grace in saying she has made her mark and it is time to rest.

Appearance

A strategic display of the floor's remaining teams and formations.

Role

The command display that frames Rosetta's choice between fighting on and standing down.
