Description:	This is an _incredibly_ immense level, with seven main areas. It has a good range of difficulties, and much time was spent on the design. Believe me, it's worth the download.
Credits:	Matthew Ayres, Ben Morris, Robertp180, and of course, ID & Raven for the best games ever.
Base:	New level from scratch
Build time:	WAY too long(several months)
Editor(s) used:	WADED 1.83, RHEU v1.1, DCK, DETH
Bugs:	It will probably run slower on older machines, and you probably won't be able to save your game.

Reviews:

maulosiarch	Immensely replayable. One of the best user-created single levels of Heretic on this site. Great use of every monster, weapon, texture and feel/themes of Heretic.	x
Anonymous	Nice one!	x
Anonymous	Nice large level. Like the other reviewer stated, almost hub-like but it is a bit on the easier side with tons of vials and ammo. Even on Skill 4. I only really saw tomes and a few other artifacts. For some reason, there was a lot of mace balls around but I never found the mace. Though, I'd imagine it's the only secret I never managed to find. Average level time for me was about 20 minutes. Pretty darn impressive for 1997!	x
Anonymous	Cool adventure through various themes, almost like a one-level hub. I particularly liked the "mountain" with caves. Ammo is pretty abundant, though, and the artifact load could be better (several tomes and tons of flasks, but only a few other artifacts.) All in all well worth playing.	x
Anonymous	Really awesome level, if your still alive you should make more!! Heh	x
Anonymous	Nice level! I'm reviewing this 10 years too late tho lol. ;)	x

Misc. Author Info       : I work a lot with Doom II, Heretic, and HeXen,
			  and now some with Quake.  This is my first main
			  Heretic project (I made Ceremony.wad for Doom II
			  back in 1995), and it was mostly finished in
			  January 1996, but I never got around to finishing
			  it because of HeXen.  I made a level for
			  Stonegate.wad for HeXen, and I am currently
			  working on H�lle for HeXen. 
Story                   : As you come to a river in a strange mountainous
			  area, the gate slams shut behind you, blocking
			  off the return path.  Gargoyles rush towards you,
			  signaling that you are not wanted here.  Water,
			  Earth, Fire, Ice, and Death will test you here,
			  while D'Sparil watches your every move.  Only his
			  destruction in the Seventh Chamber can save you.
Description             : This is an _incredibly_ immense level, with seven
			  main areas.  It has a good range of difficulties,
			  and much time was spent on the design.  Believe
			  me, it's worth the download.

NOTICE:  This is a very large level, and you will not be able to
	 save your game.  I made it possible to win without
	 cheating though, so play fair!
To play, put the seven.wad and seven.bat files in your heretic
  directory, then type "seven".  Another method is entering
  "heretic -file seven.wad", starting a new game on the 
  difficulty of your choice, and typing "ENGAGE 3 8".
