The Labyrinth
An ancient maze of tunnels in the northern section of the Middledark.
The Labyrinth was a network of lava tubes tunnels made of cold black basalt. There were some paths and bridges. Depending on who was describing it, the tunnels either spanned 100 miles north to south and more than 50 miles east to west, or 200 miles north to south and almost 100 mile east to west. Runes were carved into the tunnels to guide travelers, but few could read them. There were a number of rifts that cut through the Labyrinth, so many tunnels emptied into massive chasms or dead-ended. Some staircases have been carved into stone to overcome these chasms.
There were a few well traveled known paths through the labyrinth, but those who wandered off the path were seldom seen again. Most likely dying of thirst, starvation, or the many minotaurs who roamed the labyrinth.
Notable Locations within The Labyrinth:
Pit of Howling Grief: The Pit of Howling Grief was a rift in the ground filled with endless sounds of moaning and wailing. Next to the chasm was a slab of black rock that served as an altar to the demon lord Baphomet.
House Jaelre: When House Jaelre dwelt here, they had a palace, which was abandoned hundreds of years ago.
Gallery of Angels: A chamber housing seven fallen, petrified angels.
