Description             : A medium-sized Heretic map that was originally intended
			  for Realm of Parthoris. The layout/architecture by Xaser
			  is a recreation of Iron Keep from Dark Souls 2; Not Jabba
			  did the thing placement/combat later.

			  This map includes a set of gameplay modifications from Not
			  Jabba's upcoming episode, The Wayfarer, which are intended
			  to improve balance and pacing and fix bugs. Most notably, 
			  several of the weapons are more powerful. See gameplay_changes.txt
			  for a complete list of modifications.
