What does the Labyrinth look like?

I always thought it was modeled after the movie:




Hehe... and a rendition of a Guild Boss from the past:



Notice his climbing skills and sneaky attire.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

So what you're saying, Dan, is that the Labyrinth is David Bowie's territory.

That reminds me of a fake log I once wrote.
Child, child, if you come to this doomed house, what is to save you?

A voice whispers, "Read the tales upon the walls."

I always imagined it like a Brasilian favela.
Just like the white winged dove,
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Oooo,ooo, ooo

Well, the 'Rinth was designed as the newest merchant quarter after Allanak was already 200+ years old.

I always imagined expansive buildings with plenty of shops, apartments, wide streets, great artistry, stages, etc.
Then it was abandoned for some reasons and all of those building were neglected. They started to collapse in on themselves and into the streets. Large amounts of humanoids found themselves in capable of doing the only thing they were good at. Trade skills fell off the map after a few generations. A large portion of the population found themselves good at only a few skills, taking from the weak, manipulating the ignorant, and menial labor. With slavery rampant, menial labor is free for the Houses and a useless skill.

A few maintain the family tradition of buying and selling. A few mantain the family tradition of cooking. A few maintain the family tradition of knowing the sewers.

The current descriptions of most of the streets do not fit in my mind of how I would design a quarter around merchants. The quarter itself is missing the escaped slaves, missing children, drug addicts, subjugated masses, and child gangs. I do think that can be solved easily enough though, but someone on staff has to want to do it.

Its also missing the seedier brothels one would find in such an area. Prostitution in the rinth would be huge, half naked people calling out from the shadowy corners " Hey soldier, wanna sheath ya sword, five sid." or pimps "hey girl, ya need some work, Uncle Samos take good care of ya, if ya come work for him. Come on, ya still got a few years left, follow me.. food and wata if ya be a good girl ta uncle Samos.".

Or hustlers calling out from the shadows "Whacha need, ya, ya.. I got it, come on steep over here and take a look." (left over from the merchant days are traders turned Fencers, thieves turned merchants. a couple of heavies with them. If ya try to haggles they beat the crap out of you instead of refusing to trade.


The funny little foreign man

I often hear the jingle to -Riunite on ice- when I read the estate name Reynolte, eve though there ain't no ice in Zalanthas.

I get the feeling that alot of people saying the Rinth is missing certain things haven't actually looked around the Rinth much.

Its beautiful!

I like the screaming mantis. Pretty much the only cool, awesomely described part of the 'Rinth.

Not really.


I never play the rinth.

It is too small, barren and feels incomplete.
A gaunt, yellow-skinned gith shrieks in fear, and hauls ass.

But when you get a good group of players in there.... Just.... Damn.

It's great. x]

Better chance of finding bigfoot.

Now that much I can agree with....

Maybe it's just my past playing IRE MUDS, but the Rinth is the coolest thing I've ever played in this sort of game
