This first part is the story behind the map and gametype, there is a quicker breakdown of the basics lower if you just want the bare bones

A cult of wizards resides inside Castled Keep, keeping their magic scrolls and powerful secrets from the world. The Keep is set far into the mountains, and is directly connected to the lower foothills of the cliff side via a fragile old walkway. Two blue torches light the way into the foothills, but it is said that the hills are a part of a burial site for the ancient dead, and as such few dare travel outside the keep into its treacherous crags. The ground is littered with stone spires ever reaching toward the sky. The setting for the Mage-cults final fight.

The Black knight is the Spirit of a Traitor to the cult, and as such cannot die to their magic, at best they banish him from the castle only to be attacked again shortly thereafter. Using their spells, scrolls, and their precious jewel, the Eye of Ruucht, they hold off the knight's onslaught, until the one time he managed to slip past, the one time he managed to kill a cultist. Then spirits were seen wandering the cliffs, malicious spirits who not unlike the knight wished nothing more than the death of the cult. With these spirits, and the Black Knight, how can the Mage-cult hope to survive?

Thats the story behind the game, at least. The mechanics of the game are as follows:
Infection, five rounds, 5 minutes per round. Killing a zombie is always worth three (3) points, and killing a human is worth two (2) points. Being the last Mage-cultist standing is worth NEGATIVE two (-2) points. This discourages hiding out until the end, but because of the weighted scoring it is still usually better to be a human than a zombie.

Only one alpha zombie exists regardless of the number of players, and he is the Black Knight. He moves faster than the mages, and he can take a hit pretty well, too. Other zombies are Tortured Souls, and they are equipped with minimal active camo, and gravity hammers. They move a little slower than the cultists, but they are also harder to see. They respawn under the foothills. All zombies have slightly enhanced shield-regeneration, so you need to keep pressure on the zombies in order to prevent them from regenerating.

The humans spawn inside the castle walls with rockets and brute shot spawn weapons, though with reduced damage from normal. They can access the entire castle from the start. On the middle level, there is a set of grenades (scrolls) that spawn once. In addition, there is a custom powerup (Eye of Ruucht) that enhances damage, and movement speed at a cost of your shields and your secrecy- by picking up the powerup, you put a waypoint above your head for the enemies to see, and you turn gold with power.

If you spend all the scrolls, there are some more in the catacombs (castle bottom floor) but be warned, the catacombs are an easy entry point for both the knight and his spirits to attack, so decide if the Grenades (scrolls) are really worth it before you go down.

One of the most prominant features of the map is the destructible walkway leading from the castle to the foothills. If it isn't constantly watched, it is a quick way to lose a match. Decide if you want to bait them across to kill them on the landing, or if you want to kill the bridge and buy yourself some time.

The map makes use of several advanced forge techniques, including minor fusion with map geometry (wall with crane) and basic interlocking (all of the foothills)

I don't think I forgot anything, without further ado, here are the screenshots. Enjoy!:
