 The inclusion of alignment quests in dNetHack was inspired by the alignment quests in SLASH'EM, but the quests themselves are quite different. In dNetHack, the alignment quests have dedicated branch levels that are multiple floors long and divided into roughly three parts; portals to each are found between dungeon levels 12 and 20. Multiple unique creatures serve as guardians for each quest, and all contain multiple artifacts related to the theme of the quest, most of which are associated with one of the unique enemies.
-The quests each have three alignment keys associated with them, but the precise means of obtaining the keys varies between quests. The keys are required for the three doors in the [[Valley of the Dead]]; they have been made indestructible in dNetHack, and each requires an alignment key to open. Any alignment key can be used to open any of these doors, but the key is destroyed in the process, and three of the nine total alignment keys are needed for access to [[Gehennom]]. Note that it is impossible to level teleport past the Valley in dNetHack before descending into Gehennom via the Valley stairs. This means you need to either fully complete a specific alignment's quests or partially complete any combination of multiple alignment quests.

-The [[Lawful Quest]] is designed vaguely like something out of a horror movie, and is filled with numerous "illusions" - deceptively #named objects made to look like useful items or artifacts, doors which lead nowhere, a false temple, and more. Beneath its illusions, it does always contain a coaligned altar and [[cursed]] [[enchantment|-9]] [[gray dragon scales]], and you have a chance to find an [[amulet of flying]] as well - you will likely have to fight an arch-lich to obtain the scales, however, making stoning very handy here. Once obtained, you can [[cancel]] the scales to uncurse them and zero out their enchantment. The quest nemesis, [[Nightmare]], inflicts surprising amounts of damage but is otherwise unremarkable. She drops the moderately useful [[Nighthorn]] and the [[Key of Law]] when killed.

-In SLASH'EM, portals to each quest are found between levels 15 and 19. Each quest has only one floor with a unique, [[covetous]] enemy that must be killed to retrieve their alignment key; each unique enemy will be surrounded by minions of similar type and/or alignment, and will also drop a unique artifact when killed unless they are [[disintegrated]], [[petrified]] or [[Digestion|swallowed whole]]. The alignment keys are used to open the central six doors in the top level of [[Vlad's Tower]], which have been made indestructible. The configuration of the doors ensures that you will always need at least two of the keys to reach Vlad.

 However, it is still possible to obtain the [[Candelabrum of Invocation]] without the alignment keys. There are two main ways to do this:
-*Wake up Vlad yourself: Similar to waking up the Wizard, one can do this with a charged [[drum of earthquake]] or a polyselfed or pet [[mind flayer]]'s psychic blast. Vlad is [[covetous]], and so will teleport to meet the player.

-*Let somebody else do your dirty work, specifically the [[Wizard of Yendor]]: he wants the Candelabrum as much as you do, and so will teleport to meet Vlad if you lure him up to the top level of Vlad's Tower. However, he cannot get past Vlad's [[Need +x weapon to hit|+3 enchantment resistance]], but he will at least wake him up for you. Alternately, filling the area with pets via a combination of [[create monster]] and confused [[taming]], or by simply spamming [[flame sphere]] or a similar spell, it's possible for a pet to end up next to Vlad and wake him up.
