Atlantis, painted for this archiveMaze of the Tritons
Place, Landmark
A labyrinth of caves crossing beneath the plateau between the Canyon of Neptune and the Antillan Channel, with a single true path guarded by the strongest Sahuga shamans and used as a deadly test of honor; non-Tritons are never allowed in. Its walls are said to hold vast riches in gems, pearls, coral and old coins.
From the book
This underground labyrinth runs beneath the entire plateau, linking the Canyon of Neptune with the Antillan Channel. Its tunnels twist and turn with many baffling bends and dead ends, but one very intricate route goes all the way through. The Sahuga guard it, and their strongest shamans keep its secrets.
The Sahuga use the passage as a trial of nerve, skill and power for those seeking honored rank in the tribe. It is full of danger, and many who went in at the canyon never came out the far side. Few Tritons from other tribes may enter, and non-Tritons never. Legend claims the gems and metals set in its walls could fill the world's treasuries three times; that is surely exaggerated, yet the caves really do hold a wealth of gemstones, pearls, coral and old coins washed in from the seabed.
