                         GEOGRAPHY OF "BEREFT"

Bereft is a land rich in history and scenery. This succinct travel
guide will attempt to give you some background on the land, as well as
try to explain the importance of the many landmarks you will see on
your journey, listed in order of appearance.

PORTAL DESTINATION
	This is the room in which you will arrive when you begin your
	journey. Things are not as they appear here... be sure to give
	everything a try to reap the room's full benefits.

BLOODFALLS
	A life-draining river of demon blood which cascades over the
	landscape on which it was formed. Years of erosion and decay
	brought this area into fruition.

GROVE OF THE HORRID
	Areas which seem as serene as this should be traversed with
	caution, for many creatures lurk within the confines of this
	dark copse. The road splits here; choose your destination.

CAVE OF THE HORRID
	This once complicated circuit of caves has, through the years,
	collapsed into a small underground inlet leading to a pool with
	strange properties. Perhaps you'll find something here...

MEPHISTO'S FIELD
	A small pond complimented by an equally small hill occupy this
	small field leading from a teleporter elsewhere. Of course,
	many more things are likely to occupy this area as well.

RUINS OF SECULA
	Hundreds of years ago, Secula was a fantastic tower which rose
	into the heavens, used to torture prisoners of war. It has long
	since been liberated, and now, only a maze of ruins remain.

MOUNTAINSIDE
	The souls of the damned fester at the foot of this gargantuan
	mountain. You will join them if you do not watch your step.
	There is more to the mountainside than apparent at first.

VAMPIRIC WOODS
	A deviously designed forest, forged through the demonic work
	of dozens of hostile beings. The forest has long since deter-
	iorated into a field of waning trees and scrubs.

COITUS CASTLE
	Many legends of the land revolve around the mysterious Coitus
	Castle. Natives are unsure of what exists there, for its stone
	complex has been undisturbed for many years.

THE SECRET YARD
	No one has ever seen this place. Many tales have been spun reg-
	arding its contents, but no one knows for sure. Legends say
	that a secret passage in Coitus Castle will take you here.

THE UNDERNEATH
	A circuit of caverns located deep underground. Tales say that
	these caverns are long, winding, and confusing... but that many
	riches are there for those who are courageous enough.

THE GATE
	Your adventure ends here. Indeed, this area is imposing, and
	who knows for sure what awaits at the other end... but this is
	where your destiny has finally taken you...
