The Rise of Telmar — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Rise of Telmar is a medium 72 by 72 map for Shadow of Death with an underground level at normal difficulty. Its premise is a descent into a volcano that leads to an unfamiliar world. Six players can take part, but only one may be human, and the five computer-controlled colors form four teams. The factions in play are Castle, Tower, Dungeon and Rampart, with Green combining Castle and Tower. Victory requires acquiring a specific artifact, and a player loses by losing a specific hero. Notable features include 29 towns, a Titan and a Master Genie among the wandering monsters, and the Endless Sack of Gold.
