Hard to believe this was released all the way back in 2005. As of late 2013, with such strong contenders as something_wicked and honey, this is still the most beautiful Quake map I have played.
The gameplay is likewise superb, with impeccable pacing and just the right degree of mounting difficulty. I am not usually a fan of maps that go overboard with monster count (though I understand their appeal to others), but here it is implemented so smoothly that it just adds to the monumental sense of scale.
As other users have said, this is truly a masterpiece.

Just shockingly brilliant from start to end. Words fail me.
The only sadness is that it seems Kinn only ever made two Quake maps: this, and the also superb kinn_bastion.

One of the best Q1SP levels, I can only agree with what’s already been said. Even better than Bastion, which I also liked immensely. Too bad the author disappeared. ![]()

Got me very lost a couple of times, but stunningly good.

Totally lives up to its reputation—I only wish it was a little bit more labyrinthine and nonlinear. ![]()
Aside from the architecture I really like how varied the gameplay is. Also, I’m not usually a fan of horde battles in Quake but the two-stage final fight of this map was excellent. A lot of it had to do with a big, relatively complex spaces the player is allowed to maneuver in. They provide a lot more room for tactical engagement than the boring arena-type spaces a lot of mappers use for such fights.
