			The Labyrinth of Zenon The following article is derived from various writings on the strange phenomenon of Zenon's Labyrinth:

			As part of his plot to destroy the Council, the evil sorcerer Zenon created what has ironically become his most enduring monument, the mysterious Labyrinth of Illusion. The magical arts that were employed in the construction of the Labyrinth are long forgotten, but the Labyrinth itself remains.

			Although it is impossible to judge Zenon's true motives in creating the Labyrinth, it seems likely that it was created as a place of refuge for his minions. The Labyrinth appears to be a huge maze of interconnected rooms and corridors, perfect for such a purpose.

			Scholars are divided over the true nature of the Labyrinth. Some claim that it is actually located in another dimensional [[Cosmology\|plane]], and does not exist in our reality at all. Others are convinced that the Labyrinth is a massive illusion, and is actually much smaller than it appears.

			Other than Zenon, only the man known as the Sage knows the true nature of the Labyrinth. The Sage was apparently a student of Zenon, and may have helped him create the Labyrinth. When Zenon fell to the [[Unlife]], however, the Sage felt compelled to side against him. After the defeat of Zenon, the Sage decided that the Labyrinth, the greatest creation of his teacher, should be used in a positive manner, as a monument to the good man that Zenon was before he was lead astray.

			Therefore, the Sage created on each of the many levels of the Labyrinth a sacred altar. It is said that great rewards await those who are brave enough to challenge the Labyrinth, find all the altars, and humbly pray before each in turn. In order to do so, however, one must first find entrance to the Labyrinth, a glowing portal that drifts around the landscape. It has not been seen in the vicinity of [[Kelfour's Landing]] for more than a generation.

			Concerning the Sage, little is known. His true name is lost in the mists of the past. Indeed, it is said that over the centuries, the Sage himself has forgotten much. Some say he has even forgotten how to die.

'''Zenon''' was the 58th Lord Sorcerer of the Council of Mages for the city of [[Quellburn]] in the [[Shadow World]] history. He was seduced into being corrupted with the Unlife by the [[Dagothra|high priest]] of the [[The Iron Wind|Cult of the Snow Lion]], aiding their secret order in the utter annihilation of the kingdom of [[Quellbourne]]. Zenon spent years planning his alliances with the [[troll|trolls]] of the [[Upper Trollfang|Kaldsfang]] mountains, the [[Krolvin|Ice Kral]] of the northern coast of the [[Lysierian Hills|Seolfar Strake]], his assortment of monstrous experiments, and pacts with ever more powerful Demons of the [[Pales]]. When his plan was finally executed in 5840 [[Third Era]] he opened portals to bypass the physical and magical defenses of the citadel, with the hordes plundering and destroying the coastal villages.

Unfortunately, Zenon was hit with a Spell of Amnesia True by the 66th Mystic Alladyre, which wiped out his memory of his role in the fall of Quellburn. Alladyre was soon slain by a Demon of the Fourth Pale. Zenon was still alive, wandering the ruined city seeking to return his memory, two centuries later in 6050 Third Era. Some refugees fled south and hid in a cave, which turned out to have a giant spider. They would give it sacrifices and eventually formed the [[Spider Temple]].

In the fallout of the invasion his hordes sought out destruction of their own accord. The trolls spread throughout the forested regions north of the mountains, and the [[thrak|threks]] and [[manticore|manticores]] which Zenon had made went into the northern hills. His [[carrion worm|tergons]] from the [[High Plateau]] would spread west into the [[Coastal Cliffs]]. The Ice Kral raided these coasts and would end up settling on the island in the middle of the bay. By the time Kelfour's Landing was founded, the old kingdom was mostly wiped out. The lands were thus ripe with resources to be exploited, as the prior populations had been mostly destroyed. While Quellburn was founded by refugees of Zor, Zenon was clearly not human from his longevity.
