Book 5 Thread

Thanks to Louise's result of 51 on her Planes check, this is what you know:

The Ivory Labyrinth is a layer of the Abyss ruled by

Baphomet, a sprawling maze world the true size

of which none have ever been able to determine,

for it seems to fold back in on itself, shifting and

growing randomly.

Navigation of the Ivory Labyrinth is difficult but

not impossible. One experienced in trailblazing

and navigation (Survival) and planar geography

(Knowledge [planes]) can navigate the labyrinth to

known locations, provided the traveler does so within

the rules of the maze and doesn’t attempt to cheat

via flying over the labyrinth’s walls. Teleportation

offers the easiest method of travel, provided the

teleporter knows the location he wishes to visit.

Entire mountain ranges, vast forests, sprawling

underground tangles, swamps, plains of bones,

and more terrible expanses exist within the

Ivory Labyrinth, including two sprawling cities—

Blackburgh and Echostal. Of those two, Blackburgh

is the realm’s capital, and at the city’s heart rises

Baphomet’s Tower. Blackburgh can be thought of

as the “center” of the Ivory Labyrinth, and it is here

that one is most likely to learn of current events in

the realm.

The Ivory Labyrinth was originally designed by

Asmodeus as a prison to contain Baphomet, but

when Baphomet escaped it, he took it with him

into the Abyss to make it his home. A fraction of

that original prison is said to be hidden deep within

the maze realm of the Breathless Fountains. This

so-called “Ineluctable Prison” is where Baphomet

keeps his favorite prisoners. This prison is shielded

from magical observation from beyond its walls—

even from the sight of the gods themselves.
