Yeah, a "pure dungeon" could be a sort of supernatural dimension, so you don't need to worry about realism, ecologies, etc...

But if WLD would be that transit plane, maybe need to put some effort in keeping and portraying the right Dungeon Fantasy "specific" flavour. I mean with this not only regarding as very optional the Doom material (1), but still putting something else for it being representative of an "archetypical dungeon fantasy dungeon" .

Also, there is a sort of "danger" of design here: to the most quantity, results in less quality, most difficult to keep some degree of flavour and meaning, so I'm not convinced at all about the idea of making this "the largest". That it is a measure, extension, and hence quantity.

(1) It would be COOL, however, for an Ultratechnological Horror Dungeon. . .
