I haven't played it for a while, but one thing I recall is that the level
range is pretty broad.
Some of the undercity maps are suitable for low level characters (less than
5), while others are much tougher, with things like wyverns. So I'd probably
say the level range is 0-20, but it really depends on what area you are in.
One problem perhaps is that there is not enough exp to be gained here to start
at say level 5 (easier area) and work your way through, to the point where at
the end you are sufficient exp to complete it. If you start at high enough
level to complete it, you may find some areas too easy. If you start at a level
where the area is a challenge, you may find you can't complete it, and need to
go adventuring elsewhere to get sufficient exp.
