Alice the lawful human Valkyrie entered the Mazes of Menace a determined girl. Impressive, considering the hundreds and hundreds of men and women who went before her, never to be seen again. Did they die deep below the earth, somewhere in the twisting dungeon passages? Did any pass into Gehennom, the underworld? One thing she was sure of: even if any of the adventurers who went before her found Moloch's Sanctum and recovered the Amulet of Yendor, even if the bravest and luckiest had carried the amulet to the surface and up to the Elemental Planes, none had ever crossed the Astral Plane to place the amulet on the altar of her God. She was certain of this because Tyr had called for her to retrieve it, as Tyr had called so many before her. She was to do something no one had been able to do.
