John H.,
From The Lord of the Rings, "A Journey in the Dark" (in Moria):

High up above the eastern archway through a shaft near the roof came a long pale gleam; and across the hall through the northern arch light also glimmered faint and distantly.

[...]

"If we could find a window it would help, but I fear that the light comes only down deep shafts."


Of course, that would imply that rooms should be lit more by sun than by moon. And NetHack is not Moria.[Quote]

I like it. It is not really logical (the dungeon is underground after all), but it is a very minor change to the game anyway, and I'm all for adding more time-based effects to the game.[Quote]
