Map Description:  	Please read this entire description as there are important-
interesting notes about the map below:
This map starts out very well-balanced and is set to offer every race in the game a unique 
experience.  The magic assigned to each race, and their inital cities are all unique and 
are what you would expect for that race (Elves start out in grasslands and have 4 circles 
of their magic dedicated to the life sphere of magic.  Undead start out in scorched land 
and have 4 circles of magic in death.  Dwarves start out underground and dirt, and have 
4 circles of magic in Earth.  Frostlings start in ice regions and have 4 spheres dedicated 
to water.  Azracs start in Desert and have 4 spheres dedicated to Fire... etc. for all 12 
races).

You may play as any race, and all are perfectly balanced.  This is also an excellent 
multiplayer game. The effects of terrain deformation are even more evident on this map 
than on most.  If it happens, the effects will be strikingly evident.  You must not quit 
early or you will miss the effects.

**One very important note.  Deep underground is a fabled treasure of incredible Wealth 
and Power.  Always the same, yet somehow always changing...

The map starts all 12 races in their own independent areas.  There are 28 cities.  12 
are initially assigned to the starting races. 
This is a good map with lots of options for replayability and for trying different 
strategies. This was created by Jeff Pinard.  

Background Story:
