Description           :  This map is different. The open sky is used to create
			two separate and unique landscapes. The one resembles 
			a Rembrandt like landscape, relatively peaceful.  The other
			is cold and foreboding. Between the two is a labrinth
			of dungeon like architecture, suitably inhabited.  Explore at
			your peril. In addition to the necessary qualities of gameflow
			atmosphere and fun, I have endeavoured to introduce classical
			composition into the landscapes, producing what is, I hope,
			quake-art.
 
Additional Credits to : Everybody at id. And to Ben Morris and Worldcraft. I can't
			thank these people enough for enabling intelligent design and
			creation with the tools they provide.

Technical Note:		*It was a technical struggle to keep down the frame
			rates due to the open architecture. To avoid lag in 
			multi-play, keep to the low ground*.
