Courts

Courts (including Courtyards) are a type of environment in the Castlevania series.
__TOC__
==Characteristics==
Court are large, partially closed or fully enclosed (courtyards) extensions of terrain open to the sky which are often surrounded by a building or complex, such as the castle's ramparts. Their function is generally to connect the castle, or any other big residence, with the drawbridge. Patios with statues and fountains, and some vegetation like trees and bushes, can generally be found in these outdoor places.
Avian enemies can usually be encountered in them, such as Eagles and Ravens, and it's not uncommon that flocks with infinite numbers of these types of enemies attack the hero or even carry and drop other enemies for them to contend with.
==Recurring locations==
* Castle Front Court - The front court in between the Castle Front Gate and the Entrance. 
* Inner Courtyard - The main courtyard for Dracula's Castle. Hopper carrying flying enemies usually patrol this area.
** Collapsed Castle Ruins - A section of the courtyard littered with the remains of a collapsed section of the Castle or tower.
* Courtyard Periphery - Run along the periphery of any courtyard, including paths and corridors along the outer walls, up and down the walls themselves, and to and from towers along the periphery and interior via bridges.
** Courtyard-Facing Corridor - Along the castle walls are some corridors that face the courtyards.
