*Story*
			Again, you received the vision.
			A vision of the lone figure, battling against an entity of pure evil.
			The frequency of the dreams have been increasing... increasing along 
			with the populace's decline of need for answer or even reason.
			After obediently lining up for the mandated blessing, the power of
			control took those that willingly gave themselves and destroyed their
			body or mind... their life or their sanity.
			Those that outright refused or even questioned the blessing were
			treated as pariahs or heretics.
			Then came the day to cleanse the "unclean".

  			After gaining knowledge of the the location of the "Old Gate" and 
			defeating it's Guardians, you proceed to the stronghold that contains
			the portal to the "Grand Wall".
			Make your way past the wall, to gateway on the hill that holds
			the inevitable confrontation with the "Lava Lords of Decree".

*Notes*
Difficulty Settings	: Maps were designed for sequential order, especially on higher skills.
			  Skill 3 recommended if playing maps starts with wand only.
			  Knowledge of secret areas may be required on higher difficulties.
Build Time		: Like BuzzSaw1.wad & BuzzHtc1, some of the maps were designs I had
			  already completed for an originally planned 32 level DOOM II
			  Megawad back in the late 1990's that used DOOM I and Heretic
			  textures & sprites.
			  At the rate I was working on levels at the time (and that the maps
			  used registered resources), I would have never completed it for release.
			  I split the project into an 11-level DOOM II wad (using Plutonia.wad
			  for textures) and a 9-level Heretic wad so that I could at least release
			  what I had from the original 32 level idea.		
			  The levels built for the Megawad were updated to match the re-made level
			  flow and design after the split.
