#####R=== PERN'S DUNGEONS ===

There are numerous dungeons within the Pern world, but not all
of them are required to be ventured into. The original angband
dungeon has been split into 4 parts, each found near or at a 
different town. Travel between towns is usually easiest by 
using the wilderness overview map ("<" from the town level), 
but remember to take lots of food with you!

#####GThe Basic Dungeons
#####G------------------

#####G1. Barrow-Downs
Found near the outscirts of Bree (the starting town), this 
dungeon is where you should begin your adventure. It 
contains the main Dungeon levels 1 (50') to 10 (500'), 
after which it becomes necessary for the character to seek 
out a new dungeon in order to be able to descend further in 
their quest to kill Morgoth.

#####G2. Mirkwood
The Mirkwood forest contains levels 11 (550') to 33 (1650'),
and can be found to the north-east of Lothlorien.

#####G3. Mordor
The Land of Mordor is a hot, cavernous region, containing 
levels 34 (1700') to 66 (3300') of the dungeon. Located to 
the East of Minas Anor, it is a place filled with danger, 
and only a wary adventurer will make it through to the other 
end of this dungeon. 

#####G4. Angband
Only the most successful of adventurers usually make it this 
far. The Dungeon Angband contains both Sauron and Morgoth, 
who will gladly wipe out any who dare to oppose them! This 
dungeon covers levels 67 (3350') to 127 (6350'), but Sauron 
waits for you at level 99, and Morgoth at level 100. This 
dungeon can be found near Gondolin.


#####GAdditional Pern Dungeons
#####G------------------------

In addition to the basic 4 dungeons, there are numerous other 
dungeons scattered around the world for an adventurer to explore
while preparing for the final fight. Many of the dungeons have a
guardian at the bottom of them, and a few have unique levels
somewhere within them (like an orc town) with guaranteed artifacts
and nasties within them. Other than the unique levels, all of the
dungeons can be exited and re-entered at your leisure.

Be warned though that some dungeons are partly toxic to the
adventurer, and will damage you BY THEMSELVES just by you walking
within them!

the bad. This forest is no exception. In the past, unsuccessful
