== Notes ====================================================================

There's a bigger plot going on - this was originally concieved as an add-on
WAD to a TC called MythConceptions, but I decided to release it standalone, 
as a preview. 

The DEH included is rather large, since it's meant for a larger TC. So, don't
expect the game to act normally once MAP05 ends.

== Quick hints ==============================================================

MAP02: Can't exit after opening what looks like the exit door? Turn around. 
MAP03: This one's a bit tricky. In addition to getting the needed keys to exit,
you also need to trigger four switches. Each one is next to a banner depicting
elemental air, fire, water, and earth. The air one is up high, earth one down 
low, water one by water, fire one by a lot of torches. They should be easy 
to find.
MAP05: The exit will be revealed in time. Patience....:)

DM: The levels weren't made for it. They have a lot of special effects that 
likely won't work. MAP05 is a total loss, given its design. MAP01 might be okay
MAPs 02 and 04 have special DM only exits.
