Vlad's Tower

This is an upward-extending branch consisting of 3 levels; it is reached by a second upstair in Gehennom located between the 9th and 13th levels (and therefore between DL 34 and DL 42).

All levels in the branch are no-teleport; only the middle level is eligible to leave bones files. Monster creation in this branch is biased towards chaotic monsters.


Maps

The walls and floor of each level are undiggable.
