Story:
------
Lara has finally found the Lost Temple of Vaara.  She seeks to obtain a crystal of legendary power for her collection, the Crystal of Vaara. (it's actually the horseman's gem, but let's just say it's the Vaara Crystal since I wasn't able to make one)  To obtain this crystal, Lara must go through the many treacherous secret passages and rooms the monks of Vaara have put in place for anyone who dares to take their crystal.
Hope you enjoy this level.

General bug note:  Due to the layout of this level, some bugs cannot be fixed without changing the unique properties of some of the rooms.  See below for bug descriptions and some "don't do"s in this level.

BUGS/"Don't do"
---------------
*The corner bug works here.  Though I have not tried it everywhere in this level, I don't believe any short-cuts can be created using it.
*This level is based on sequence.  If you attempt to play the level out of sequence, you most likely won't be able to complete it.
*Some camera views will not break until you step off the trigger square.
*There is one room where flares will not illuminate until thrown and binoculars will cause the game to crash.  You'll recognize it when you see all the fire.
*Since some triggers are "pad" type, using dozy before you come to the end of the level can cause you to miss important triggers.  However, once you have reached the end, you can go sight seeing if you wish. (the end looks like the beginning, i.e. Lara exits through what is supposedly a door but is really a graphic with a level end trigger in front of it.)

A note to the players
---------------------
This is the first level I've ever submitted, created using only the guide provided on the level editor disk with no help from forums, people, or any online tips or guides.  So, if it seems amateur, it is.  Even so, much time has been put into it, and although I have not worked on it consecutively for the time it has taken to complete, it has taken more than a year and a half to put final touches on it.  If you have any comments on my level, please take all this into consideration.
Also, you'll notice some of the level titles are different.  These are future projects I am working on but have not yet completed.
