Architecture:
The Halls of Arden Vul are about 12 levels deep,
- Pyramid of Thoth (tall, but not many rooms inside)
- Hall of Heroes (small)
- Well of Light
- Halls of Thoth (Upper Great Hall of Thoth is within this)
- Forum of Set
- Obsidian Gates
- Lower Halls of the Archons
- The Canyon
- Lower Shrines and Tombs
- Troll Thegn (mostly Varumani rather than the Halls proper)
- Lower Temple
- Chasm Floor (mostly wild rather than constructed)
- Heqeti Ziggurat (connected to the Chasm Floor)
Varumani:
- Big, strong, smart,
- Regenerate; can only be killed with fire or acid,
- Some mages,
- Eventually surrendered to Marius Tricotor and became loyal Imperial subjects,
Heqeti:
- Amphibian,
- Several types, with most being the less intelligent “hoppers” but some smarter.
- Some mages and demon-anti-priests,
- Purely evil,
- Their Heqeti Ziggurat was conquered by Marius Tricotor, but survivors retreated into the Underearth
Value
- In addition to all the information, it’s probably worth a lot of money.
