You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Dungeon series''' is a series of [[fantasy novel]]s written under the auspices of [[Philip José Farmer]], who wrote an introduction for each book in the series. The series was written by four different  authors, each carrying on the story from the previous book.

The books follow nineteenth century explorer Clive Folliot as he travels through a multilayered [[dungeon]] world attempting to find his twin brother<ref>((cite web | url=https://www.sfsite.com/05a/du151.htm | title=The SF Site Featured Review: Philip José Farmer's the Dungeon ))</ref> Neville. Along the way, he forms a group of similarly lost creatures and persons, and must battle the pawns and [[espionage|agents]] of the Dungeon's mysterious [[Extraterrestrial life|alien]] masters. The Dungeon is where beings from countless times and worlds are brought and trapped by mysterious and technologically advanced races—known as the Ren, the Chaffri, and the Gamine—for unknowable purposes. The Dungeon is a place of nine levels, each with a widely differing environment ranging from deserted cities to prehistoric wilderness to [[Hell]] itself. Levels can be traversed by traveling through a [[Gate]], typically located at that level's lowest portion. Throughout Clive's travels, he and his growing group of companions run into many twisted versions and plays on well-known novels such as ''[[Alice in Wonderland]]'', ''[[Frankenstein]]'', [[Inferno (Dante)|Dante's ''Inferno'']], ''[[The Lost World (Conan Doyle novel)|The Lost World]]'', and various [[Mythology|mythologies]].

Each author uses his own writing style. Farmer explains in the introduction to "The Dark Abyss":

"The aim of these is to enflesh as it were, the geist infusing my works. Their works are not spinoffs of my fiction. They do not continue the worlds or characters created in earlier books. They do not attempt to imitate my style, which would be difficult anyway, because I have more than one.
These ''Dungeon'' authors are feeding on the psyche, the philosophy, the themes of my science fiction adventure stories, though they will, of course, introduce their own during the development of their own works. Every person is unique. He or she, has his/her own brand of amazing grace"

In order the books are:
*''[[The Black Tower (novel)|The Black Tower]]'', by [[Richard A. Lupoff]] (1988)
*''The Dark Abyss'', by [[Bruce Coville]] (1989)
*''The Valley of Thunder'', by [[Charles de Lint]] (1989)
*''The Lake of Fire'', by [[Robin W. Bailey]] (1989)
*''The Hidden City'', by [[Charles de Lint]] (1990)
*''The Final Battle'', by [[Richard A. Lupoff]] (1990)<ref>((cite web | url=https://isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pe.cgi?4199 | title=Series: Philip José Farmer's the Dungeon ))</ref>

The true nature of the Dungeon world is left mysterious. At various times in the series, the Dungeon's nine levels has been speculated to be:
* A series of separate [[planet]]s linked by dimensional gates.
* A hollowed-out [[asteroid]] arranged with nine levels, one on top of another.
* Within the [[Earth]]'s crust, as a series of nine concentric layers, in the manner of a [[Hollow Earth]].

In [[Spain]], the series was published as "La Torre Negra" ("The Black Tower") and the first book as "La Mazmorra" ("The Dungeon"), reversing the original titles.
