The Unholy Keep — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Unholy Keep is a small underground map measuring 36 by 36, played on the Restoration of Erathia version and rated Hard. It is built for three players, with only one human seat, while the Orange and Purple players are controlled by the computer. Green takes a random faction, Orange plays Dungeon, and Purple plays Necropolis. There are no teams. The story centers on a necromancer leader preparing an invasion, and the player must defeat that specific hero within 56 days or the game is lost once time runs out. The terrain is mostly grass and rock, with some subterranean ground, and the map holds three towns, twelve mines, a creature bank, two monoliths or portals, and the Grail. Placed artifacts include the Cape of Velocity and the Sandals of the Saint, and wandering Troglodyte stacks roam the map.
