And Into Lore — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

And Into Lore is a small 36 by 36 map with an underground level, rated hard for four players, all of whom can be human, with no teams. Tan plays Rampart, Green plays Conflux, Orange plays Tower, and Teal plays Stronghold. The premise concerns a dispute over logs clogging a river, and the stolen axe of a legendary lumberjack must be found and transported to win. Time runs out after 28 days. Dirt covers most of the land, with water making up about 30 percent and grass the rest. The map holds five towns, sixteen mines, five seer huts, four monoliths and portals, and six quest guards, along with wandering creatures such as a green dragon, a roc, and a diamond golem.

Author's description

It's a sad day for the American logging industry: sawmills have gone union, the shipper's guild has declared war over floating logs clogging the river, new age environmentalists are planting weeds, and worst of all, the axe of mighty Paul Bunyan has been stolen. Can you find it?
