So... What would Thornlands look like if Lor Malgoriand made a comeback? His dream - your nightmare. 
In an effort to make up for the fact that this month's patch doesn't really have all that much (most of the effort was dedicated to trimming the media files to allow for more future items, and well, I really was away a lot this month), I've added a "nightmare" or "darkside" style map, as suggested in yonder thread.

Just in time for x-mass!
...or Halloween, as it were.
The idea is that, eventually, you'll need a special "nightmare realm" key to get to these maps, but I'm releasing nightmare_thornlands early, as a teaser. Feel free to add it to your custommaps cvar.
Mind you, this map isn't recompiled - it's just ripent + wally. I did make some effort to optimize it over the original thornlands though - less of the monsters are tied to global and wandering around at map start, so it should lag quite a bit less.
nightmare_thornlands is designed for level 28+ characters, although a large group of 20+ should hold their own alright. It will probably be the least difficult of the nightmare maps.
In addition to snow and blood everywhere, together with severely upgraded monsters, in some cases, monsters never seen before, there are new treasure chests. Like many treasure chests in MSC, they do not always contain the same items. (On a side note: I noticed at least two busted treasure chests in the old Thornlands, I'm debating weather or not to fix them.)
NOTE: To save time on DL, the music in nightmare_thornlands is borrowed from CotBG and MS_SNOW - so if you do not already have these maps installed, you may not hear all the music.
