+#####R=== ToME's DUNGEONS ===
+
+There are numerous dungeons within Middle-earth, 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 outskirts 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 ToME 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!
+
+#####GOrc Cave
+A dark tunnel leading to an Orc Cave, guarded at its base by Azog,
+King of the Uruk-Hai. Also somewhere within this dungeon is the
+hidden special level called Deathwatch.

+
+#####GThe Old Forest
+A Forest is a haven for many animals, both of the good variety, and
+the bad. This forest is no exception. In the past, unsuccessful
+attempts have been made to cultivate this land, and it is possible
+that some of the towns may remain. It is also rumoured that Old Man
+Willow has made his home here, and is the source of the Forest's
+resistance to cultivation.
+Equivalent to dungeon levels 13 to 25.
