*Story*

If you don't read this, some things within the maps just
may not make sense to you.

Long ago, the villages of the Black Mountains were cursed 
by an ancient sorcerer burned at the stake for his dabbling in the
black arts.  Upon his death the days would count down, and as the tombs
of the village filled with the dead, the sorcerers curse would come closer
and closer to reaching it's apex. The depictions of the dead riding to
battle decorate the village in a macabre fashion, these riders remind 
the residents of their impending doom. Once the Undertaker buried the final corpse 
in it's resting place the curse would be fulfilled, 
	The dead would rise again and take control of the villages, slaughtering 
the residents of these two villages. The only way to free these poor souls 
is to return them to their final rest. Destroy the hordes of dead victims
(some simply the walking dead and others damned to take upon mishapen 
hideous forms) it is the only way to break the curse. 
 In an effort to thwart the curse One child was chosen upon birth and  placed in the 
temple of light until the dead were laid to rest.  This child would grow to be 
 the savior of these two villages and that child is you!
	 You now must leave the sanctity of the holy temple and destroy the hordes of the 
dead walking the land once again. Find the place where the four riders unite, and
release the final souls of the damned!  Make your way through the Masoleum and enter the second
village, there the Sorcerers arena awaits you.  Destroy the final demons on the sorcerers own
defiled ground.  Be brave for this is the only way the ancient curse can be lifted.  
The fates of these two villages rest in your hands!
