Celtic Minstrel f8990c1c9b - Added some terrain graphics
- Stripped out the navbar in the docs to a separate JS file, to reduce redundancy and improve maintainability
- Probably other stuff that I have long forgotten; hopefully nothing code-breaking.

<h1>About Blades of Exile</h1>
<h2>About this copy</h2>
<p>This is Blades of Exile, a huge, highly-detailed Shareware fantasy role-playing system for the Macintosh. This remarkable set of programs contains nearly infinite possibilities for adventure. First, the game itself comes with three full, exciting scenarios, filled with excitement, puzzles, and role-playing. Then there is the Blades of Exile scenario editor, which you can use to make your own role-playing adventures to play yourself or trade with friends. Finally, you can obtain scenarios which other people have made with the scenario editor and play through them yourself. Even when you've finished the scenarios that come with Blades, you've only started to tap the potential for fun this product offers you!</p>
<p>In 2007, ten years after the original release of BoE, the source code of the game was released, and the tedious process of updating the game to modern standards began.</p>
