* A word from the author *
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Many hours of work went into the design of this map, so please
appreciate this efforts by walking through the whole map once in single
player mode  without any bots to take a close look at  the architecture
and the design of it. If you liked the map and enjoyed playing, please drop me
a line of what you liked and what you would make different (in German, 
English or French). Also recommend this map to your friends. 
It will encourage me to make further maps you may or may not enjoy.

Thank you.

* The Story *
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In former times, this deatmatch arena was a long set of tunnels and caves,
both natural and built by man, which connected the kingdoms  of Istenraid and 
Huglathon which where separated by the huge cloud mountains. But then, the
evil hordes invaded Huglathon, and the tunnels where sealed off to protect 
the peacefull lands of Istenraid. But that held off the invaders only for a short
period of time, and then Istenraid also was conquered. 

Today, the whole continent  is a evil place, and the Vadrigar chose this old dungeons
to be once again a place of chaos and agony. Rumors tell, that theres a small place of
peace in the endless caves, called the Inner Sanctum. No fights are taking place there
by a unspoken and unwriten rule. the rumors also say that the Vadrigar have hidden 
a almighty powerful BFG there. But till today, no gladiator was ever able to find this secret
place. But remember warrior: Should you ever find this place, and meet another gladiator 
there, remember the rule and never break the peace of this holy place!
