In Response To: Eternal volunteers: "S'pht'ia" (pfhore)

CHAPTER 3: PROPHECY

(Originally this chapter was titled "Lh'owon" and took place entirely during the S'pht Clan Wars. It was followed by another chapter called "Conquest" set during the Pfhor invasion of Lh'owon. Later I merged these two chapters into one, still called "Lh'owon" until the Great Chapter Screen Renaming of 2005ish).

Chapter Screen: A fiery Lh'owon landscape, with S'pht Defenders firing upon each other, and some Ticks aimlessly floating about.

(This landscape is also based on a photo by Ben Oppenheimer).

Level 21: "S'pht'ia"

(Based on "Eat It Vid Boi" and "The Hard Stuff Rules" from Marathon 2; retooled by Andreas Nuyts. The title is a reference to the failed videogame startup I co-founded in 2000, Sphidia; I thought "S'pht'ia" would make a nice pun for Lh'owon, being the land of the S'pht, as Germania was the land of the Germans, Brittania was the land of the Britains, etc. This level was originally titled "S'pht Happens", a title which got repurposed for a later level).

You fall out of the Lh'owon sky into lava. Climbing out of it, you find that you are near the S'pht Citadel of Antiquities. S'pht Defenders battle each other all around; the bluish ones don't attack you, but the reddish ones do. Once you make your way inside the Citadel, you find a terminal from Leela.

[L21-T0-Unfinished]

You are teleported into the upper levels of the Citadel. After wandering about for some time, you come across another terminal. It is S'bhuth.

[L21-T1-Unfinished]

You teleport out to Level 22: "Let Sleeping Gods Die".
