Description:	It's my first Hexen level. Rather than being a detailed level with lots of puzzles and having an actual point to existing, this is more of an engine test. There are a lot of jumps, magic steps, really fast elevators, transporters, moving floors, deep pits, pretty much full of stuff impossible (Or nearly impossible) to do in Doom 2. There aren't many monsters or weapons, therefore making this more set for Deathmatch, although it is just as good for Single and Co-op play. I should be past this testing stage by my next level. Don't be expecting detailed scripting anytime soon, though.

Bugs:	Items occasionally will disappear (They're still there, though, they just can't be seen, for example the key on top of the pillar. It doesn't look like it is there, but it is.) I believe this is caused by the fact that there are about 200 things in this one room, all of them magic steps. Pulling the switch in the big room causes the game to crash. (If you know what it does, you wouldn't pull it anyway.) There is one spot in which the floor appears to be there, but is not. It's a kinda cool thing, but it isn't supposed to happen. (I wish I knew how to make it do this, though. A hidden pit would be great to have.) Basically, watch your step around the area with the axe key.

Misc. Author Info       : He served three decades in the Yugoslavian
			  Armed Forces, later to join the Royal Canadian
			  Mounted Police.  He currently lives as a 
			  hermit in a cave in Mexico, where he lounges
			  around all day in a pair of BVDs and dances
			  to a rain god.  Occasionally, he'll venture
			  into a large city with a broomstick, stand on
			  a street corner, and shout about the evils of 
			  humanity.  When asked about what he wants out
			  of life, he replied "A girlfriend, a web page,
			  a refund check, and to write a novel so that I
			  can wave it in my English teacher's ugly face
			  and laugh."
