Description             : Watched by towering monuments to the greatest of
                          D'Sparil's disciples, the Valley of Saints is
                          full of certain death to any heretic that dare
                          enter.  Never the less, it is your quest to reach
                          the chapel at the summit of the cliff and destroy
                          the evil within.  Following an ancient cavern
                          passage, you ready your wand and prepare to enter
                          the valley.

                          There is a firemace, and it may appear early,
                          late, or not at all.  You'll have to adjust to
                          your fortunes accordingly.  If you find yourself
                          low on ammo, remember your wand and bombs.
                          
                          This WAD is tested to be fully vanilla
                          compatible.  When designing the layout, my
                          guiding principle was that it should be possible
                          to go through the level with multiple variant
                          routes.  I'd be interested in any speedruns or
                          other vanilla demos you come up with.

* Construction *

Base                    : New from scratch
Build Time              : About a month
Editor(s) used          : Eureka, WARM, SLADE
Known Bugs              : A certain waterfall texture is misaligned.  It
                          looks fine in the Eureka preview, so I'm not sure
                          what's wrong with it.  Monsters in big rooms
                          (south valley, cathedral) may hear prematurely,
                          but those cases should all be worked around with
                          ambush flags.  Would like to know what causes the
                          bug, though.
May Not Run With...     : It may crash Chocolate Heretic, but works fine in
                          vanilla.  Don't know why. I do not recommend
                          OpenGL ports of any kind, but they probably work
                          as long as certain render hacks are supported.
