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. Equivalent to dungeon levels 10 to 22. #####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.
