E2FINAL: The Autarch's Keep is the twelfth and final map in the City of Dissidents episode of The Joy of Mapping 4: Summer School. It was designed by Marian Paddock (Baratus) and uses the music track "zcdidung.mid" by Ryngar, a track stated to be a MIDI rendition of "Dungeon" from Zelda's Adventure, yet no such track exists in the game.
