BurbLulls: Quite a while ago I put a map on this archive of the bridge of Khazad-Dum. Some people liked it (Yay!). After playing it myself in Theme I couldn't help but feel that I'd made it too easy. Apart from the Eldraks and Durin's Bane nothing was challenging for my character.

So here's something a bit more robust.

### Starting Location
P:31:125

The Tower of Orthanc! The level covers the ravaged area around Orthanc (Complete with fighting Ents, Orcs and Trolls) to inside, full of traps and more vicious enemies.

This map is more complicated than the other one I made. For one thing, ToME doesn't have an Isengard to put it in :/. Second, it requires this monster in r_info...

The level's guardian is Saruman of Many Colours, and I've also put Wormtongue there too, slightly pumped up and made SPECIAL_GENE. The prize is the Palantir of Orthanc and the obscene amounts of loot dropped by the monsters (I had to lower the amount to stop crashes!).

If I would do anything to this level, it'd be to put in more traps. Orthanc came across very much as a deathtrap in the book. Also, I'm not sure about random monster placement.

Making things like this is definitely one of my favourite things when it comes to editing ToME. It started when I realised that almost all the modules didn't greatly edit vaults at all.

Finally, as with all things, this could well have bugs scuttling around it :)

FearofFours: This looks great, why not upload it to http://modules.t-o-m-e.net/ with all the additions (wormtongue/grima alterations and so on).

TheFury: Added to FuryMod. Great work on the level. Keep them coming.
