==Alternate Priest Home Levels==
{{main|Biodiversity patch/Priest quest}}
One feature of the [[Biodiversity patch]] is that the [[Quest#Quest branch|home level]] of the [[Priest quest]] depends on the [[pantheon]] of the player. Here are some additional home levels for pantheons that did not have them in the patch.

===Shrine (Shinto/Samurai pantheon)===

The Japanese pantheon home level is based on a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinto_shrine Shinto shrine]. The [[Arch Priest]] and several [[acolyte]]s start in the ''haiden'', the hall of worship. Behind it is the ''honden'', the sanctuary of the kami. Inside the honden is a [[chest]] containing a [[mirror]].

The outer gate and the door of the sanctuary are flanked by statues of [[large dog]]s, representing ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Komainu komainu]'', "lion-dogs", guardian figures.

The shrine is besieged by twelve [[human zombie]]s and two hostile [[tengu]].

==Venice==
Maps for a quest set in and around Venice. Inspired by the use of a real-world setting in the [[SLASH'EM]] [[Yeoman quest]].

===Piazza San Marco===

A simplified version of the Piazza San Marco, notably omitting the north side of the square.

Geographical notes:
* The water at the bottom of the map is the Lagoon.
* The temple is the Basilica San Marco. The fountain marks the approximate location of the Campanile.
* The throne room is the Palazzo Ducale. The prison is the Palazzo delle Prigioni, used at one time as a prison, and linked to the Palazzo Ducale by the Ponte dei Sospiri (Bridge of Sighs).
* The trees along the lagoon represent the palace gardens.
* The second-hand bookstore is the Biblioteca Marciana.
* The treasure zoo is the Zecca (Mint).
* The liquor emporium is in roughly the location of the Caffè Florian, a cafe dating back to the 1700s.
* The general store is the National Archeological Museum.

 The entire level is a kind of informal fungus farm, with a large number of random corpses, including several player monster corpses, and at least a dozen fungi, including yellow molds, violet fungi, and shriekers, already present at level generation.  The shriekers have attracted four purple worms, which are placed randomly around the level and will gladly swallow pets or pluck you off your steed.
