@Dakkan: don't forget jorb has mentioned multiple times he'd like to add dragons at some point.

Entrances to a more thematic instances on the fifth layer. A thematic dungeon has quite a few entrances, all of which act as a natural resource ( so they cannot be claimed) When you enter a thematic dungeon, your minimal goes black, you can't teleport to hs unless knocked ( and by teleporting this way all your shit is left there to decay) and you get a constant hp drain from "darkness" which is pretty much a mechanic from path of exile.
Thematic dungeons feature increased creature spawns, greatly increased stats of said creatures, some good loot and occasional pvp with other delvers.
A thematic dungeon is a decent sized open cave level, that warps reality just like the lake vortexes do (you have quite a few exits, but they lead to different parts of the world, changing locations every so often). What are the actual themes? IDK, what about a cave with lots of decorative rock crystals, some of which you could mine, or snatch an extra pickaxe from a small abandoned minecamp. What about a chasm with cracked ground that swallows adventurers as they step on it. Possibilities for emgame and exploration are pretty big imo
