I really liked it! A very good hold to learn DROD with growing difficulty, even though some rooms are tougher than the average (specially when the slayers come into play).
The story was interesting (I usually don't pay too much attention to this), and not too present.
To improve, you could shift the arrows when on the very entrance of a room (for example City 1N1W). It requires a restore to change sword orientation on first move.

Funny how easy for an aumtlich to kill a slayer!

Aumtlich Territory 5N1E: You can step on a sword token as many times as you like by going N/S on the arrows.

I kind of have a problem with the hold. The rooms are easy, but quite good. To me easy rooms makes for a quick diversion, but this hold is way too big to serve as a quick diversion. I guess, though, that it is a perfect hold for players that find the big oficial holds too dificult, but still likes the concept of DROD, and are looking for something a bit easier.

So I guess my comment is good job! Not really my cup of tea. If you want to make it more apealing for me I would sugest breaking up this hold in some smaller holds. Others might love a big, easy hold.
