Description
-----------
A slice of Chaos Heaven - The penultimate symbol rotates serenly atop
a sacred altar.  Power grid flows away in all directions to the realms of quake.
Weapons stand by for another sacrafice - it might be you!

Ver 2.1 Notes
--------------
Release 2 features:

Removed original features from Clan Arioch version of map (castle model, healing
pool, slip gate, table, club area, etc.)

Added permanent painkeep items and weapons.  (Some version of Painkeep is required!)

Mod enabled features (painkeep 2.2.1, and upgrades):

Archon arena style blocks - appear (or fade in and out under darkplaces)
- these were added to give some cover.  Usefull when playing against bots.
Saver from the fall of despair.  Every so often a victim fallen into the depths
of Chaos is offered a chance at redemption - hit fire in 5 secs to accept.
You still lose one frag, but not your weapons, armor and inventory.
Bigger badder Chaos altar!

Non mod features (appear on map when not loaded under painkeep 2.2.1)

Simulation of Archon arena blocks with doors.
Saver is now a set of 8 fill panels - if you fall off the level you have a second or
two to shoot the purple circle under the center of the altar.  This is much more
difficult than the mod saver.
Basic 8 ray star chaos altar, no rotation.

Look for a painkeep 2.x custom hub version in future releases of painkeep 2.X.
This version is included in Painkeep 2.2.1.


Ver 2.0 Notes
--------------
The original v1.0 design was an online meeting place for Quake clan Arioch
with the possibility of exit portals to all our training maps.  You will see some
of the original design plans - a model of Castle Arioch (that had switches
which controlled the castle!), a healing pool, a non functional slip gate,
round table, and party area with a dj setup.  Some of these things were research
for other maps.

The original concept for this map had one small problem - it was 3 years ahead
of the first engine that would run it without issue - Quake 3.  I never ported it.

The v2.0 revision is a quake one DM map in an open arena style.
Runs great on darkplaces - most likely any quake one engine will run this map.

Like many quake 3 style maps this one is open sky, and if you fall - you die.  In v1.0
if you fell you would have teleported to the castle - if the original quake could
have run an open map on hardware circa '96!

I loaded it up with DM goodies, but its not much fun with bots - with the wide open
space, they tend to track you pretty well.  I might issue another release to
alleviate this issue if there is any interest in this map.
