Oteo Labyrinth

Oteo Labyrinth, *Oteo Laavlrinh*, is an interdimensional labyrinth designed to be the hardest challenge the Yonkapas would face.

The Labyrinth was started in the First Medieval Era. It was then finished at the end of the Second Medieval Era with its entrance being the runes of the kingdom Horlaco.

Basically, the Older Gods wanted some more excitement and since there was also a huge movement in exploring the world, the Older Gods thought: hey why not build a place where people can come to one famed place to explore?

Embrósus and Timenii wanted the project to be a labyrinth, they also proposed putting Fol and Gol in the labyrinth for an added effect.

The Older Gods and Younger Gods all agreed, and they called upon the Yonkapas to build it. Little did they think, the Yonkapas soon didn’t want to build what they called a death trap. So the Gods turned to a man named Theon Astra the 2nd.

## Theon Astra the 2nd:

Theon Astra the 2nd was a metalsmith from the recently formed Kitlirix Evora. He was well noted for his craftsmen work and was overjoyed when the Gods called upon the Yonkapas to build the labyrinth.

When he was called by the Gods, he had a wife and a child. The Gods promised them safe keeping if he were to design the labyrinth.

Theon Astra the 2nd only asked for two things, one that the labyrinth be named after his son, Oteo, and two that his apprentice Rilfer Anos would be allowed to work with him. The Gods agreed and right after the two began work on the labyrinth.

## Construction:

To build this labyrinth, Theon and Rilfer told the Gods that half of it would be underground and half of it wouldn’t exist. When the Gods questioned what that meant, he explained that the labyrinth would cross over to Pahmer, being that half of it wouldn’t exist in Pahldahl.

The Gods at first questioned it, but they soon warmed up to it when Theon and Rilfer showed the Gods their sketches. The Gods were mildly impresses being that they only finished the beginning of the labyrinth, but were more than surprised when they realized that the entrance would be in the runes of the kingdom of Horlaco. They applauded and work began.

After they finished the beginning, the two started working on the middle sections. During the building of the middle of the labyrinth, Rilfer died in a terrible accident. From this, Theon’s descent into madness began. He blamed himself for Rilfer’s death.

Around the same time, a huge flu hit Kitlirix and Theons son died. Not soon after so did his wife. Theon turned sour, realizing that he had been lied to by the Gods.

Theon begged for the work to stop. He now hated working on the labyrinth. By this point they had started the interdimensional part. All Theon wanted the most now was to be with his wife and son, basically to be dead and join them in the afterlife. The Gods denied his death and made him immortal. Theon tried many times to kill himself, each proving impossible. Theon soon realized that the only way to escape this was to finish the labyrinth.

75% of the way done, Theon had totally lost his mind. His traps grew intensely more difficult than the past. By the end, the labyrinth seemed nearly impossible to get through. The Gods loved it.

At the end of the labyrinth was treasures that surpassed anyone's dreams, though nobody knows what it is because nobody has ever reached the end. As the Gods had hoped, adventurers came from near and far.

## After The Construction:

Seeing how many lives the labyrinth was taking was killing Theon even more than hearing that his family had died. He begged for the Gods to end it. The Gods finally did and Theon was able to join his family.
