The Hall of Seasons

The Hall of Seasons is a level from Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness.

About this level

The hall of seasons is one giant big level. It is part of the Tomb of ancients, and contains sub levels that apparently have elements of the seasons. Hence the name, I guess.

1. The breath of Hades: element wind
2. Neptune's Hall: element water
3. Sanctuary of the Flame: element fire
4. Wrath of the beast: element earth

If Lara complete this levels, she will get amulets. She places these amulets in their holders and it opens a room with a machine in it. To operate this machine she will combine these elements. The machine activate some movable objects and Lara will continue to the upper levels of this level.

At the top of the level Lara will obtain an obscura painting from a ghost. This ghost is Brother Obscura who will defend his painting for being stolen. At the end of the level Lara will continue in the Tomb of ancients level and get back to the archaeological dig.

Picture by picture

13.01 - The big circle

The first thing that comes in mind is the big circle. Which consist of the months of the year and some astrological signs. The illustrations came from a medieval scripture called Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry. 

It was created between c. 1412 and 1416 for the extravagant royal bibliophile and patron John, Duke of Berry, by the Limbourg brothers.[2] When the three painters and their sponsor died in 1416, possibly victims of plague, the manuscript was left unfinished. It was further embellished in the 1440s by an anonymous painter, who many art historians believe was Barthélemy d'Eyck. In 1485–1489, it was brought to its present state by the painter Jean Colombe on behalf of the Duke of Savoy. Acquired by the Duc d'Aumale in 1856, the book is now MS 65 in the Musée Condé, Chantilly, France. (from wikipedia)

13.02 - The Water Sign

If Lara steps on the water sign she looks at Januarius (January), Februarius (February) and Martius (March).

Month	Astrological sign	Type of sign	Picture description
January	Capricornus	Earth	Page from the calendar of the Très Riches Heures showing the household of John, Duke of Berry exchanging New Year gifts. The Duke is seated at the right, in blue.
February	Aquarius	Air	An enclosure surrounds a farm comprising a sheep pen and, on the right, four beehives and a dovecote. Inside the house, a woman and a couple of young man and young woman warm themselves in front of the fire. Outside, a man chops down a tree with an axe, bundles of sticks at his feet, while another gets ready to go inside while blowing on his hands to warm them. Further away, a third drives a donkey, loaded with wood, towards the neighbouring village. (From here)
March	Pisces	Water	In the foreground, a peasant ploughs a field with a plough pulled by two oxen, the man steering them with a long goatee. Winegrowers prune the vine in an enclosure on the left and plough the soil with a hoe to aerate the soil: these are the first ways of the vine. On the right, a man leans over a sack, probably to draw some seeds that he will then sow. Finally, in the background, a shepherd takes the dog that guards his flock. In the background is the castle of Lusignan (Poitou), property of the Duke of Berry who had it modernized. On the right of the picture, above the Poitou tower, a winged dragon representing the fairy Mélusine. (From here)
