THERE IS A PLACE IN THE HEART OF
THE
REALM OF SHADOW
WHERE THE BLACKNESS REIGNS SUPREME. AN ABYSS, ANCIENT
AND COLD - A LABYRINTH SET FAR BELOW THE WHISPERING
WATERS OF THE SH,ADOWSEA, MORTALS DO NOT SPEAK OF IT IN
ANYTHING.SAVE THE MOST HUSHED MURMURS. You DO NOT FIND
THIS PLACE. IT DOES NOT CALL TO YOU WITH A SWEET, KEENING
SONG. IT SIMPLY WAITS, AND BEFORE YOU EVEN REALISE THE
PERIL IT HAS CAUGHT YOU IN ITS GRASP, DRAGGING YOU INTO ITS
FLOODED DEPTHS,
FOLK TALES AND RUMOURS GIVE A THOUSAND NAMES TO THIS
SUNKEN :tABYRINTH - SHADOW-FLUX, DEEPHARROW, THE GREY
CELLS, FALSEHOME. ASK THE AELVES, AND THEY WOULD NAME
THIS LABYRINTH ULARKIDON - HARROWDEEP. IT IS AS
FITTING
A TITLE AS ANY.
WHO BUILT THIS SPIRALLING MAZE, FILLED WITH FORGOTTEN
SECRETS? WHAT PURPOSE LAY IN HARROWDEEP'S
ECHOING,
IMPOSSIBLE HALLS, OR CONJURED THE SHADOW-MAGICS THAT
SUFFUSE ITS EVERY NOOK AND CRANNY? SOME BELIEVE ITS
MAKERS CAME FROM THE MOON, FROM THE ORB DUPLICITA.
WHO, OR WHAT, THEY WERE, THE TALES DO NOT ANSWER.
MEN WITH THE BLOOD OF SHADOWS? SHADOWS THAT WALKED
LIKE MEN? ~ERHAPS IT WAS NOT THE MOON, AND THEY WERE
HERE ALL ALONG; PERHAPS THEY NEVER
EXISTED
AT ALL,
JUST ONE MORE LIE OBSCURING A DARKER UNTRUTH. THIS IS
ULGU, AFTER ALL, LAYERS OF FALSEHOOD CONCEAL EVEN THE
SIMPLEST TRUTH.
YET TO BE TRAPPED IN HARROWDEEP IS NOT AN END, BUT A
BEGINNING. EVEN AS THE SHADOWS PRESS IN, SOMETHING
BIDS YOU DESCEND FURTHER. WHATEVER THE TRUTH OF THE
LABYRINTH'S CREATION, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT RELICS OF ITS
MAKERS LIE IN THE DEPTHS - ARTEFACTS THAT COULD SHIFT THE
BALANCE IN THE WARS OF THE SURFACE, OR WIN YOU FREEDOM
FROM THE DEPTHS. SURROUNDED BY THE CRUSHING PRESSURE OF
THE SHADOWSEA, YOUR OPTIONS ARE FEW. AND SO YOU VENTURE
DOWN INTO THE DARKNESS, DOWN TOWARDS THE NETHERMAZE.
DOWN TO WHERE THE LIGHT DIES •
