+
==== Classes have begun at the School of Sorcery! ====
<br/>
+
The Mythweaver's latest plot has been discovered and it involves instructing the mice of the Folklore Forest in the ways of his malevolent magic!
====Labyrinth Entrance Discovered====
 
The Cartographer within the Fungal Cavern has finally unlocked the mystery of the Labyrinth Key. An expedition deep into the Fungal Cavern has revealed a carefully hidden locked doorway in the rock face. After a little experimentation, the Cartographer was able to configure the key to fit the lock, and with a loud click, the door slowly rose open!
 
<br/>
 
  
The entire Labyrinth appears to be an elaborate trap to guard the entrance to an entire ancient city! Engravings on the door refer to this hidden city only as "Zokor".
+
The King needs the bravest and most studious MouseHunters, Viceroy and above, to enroll at the new School of Sorcery and teach the Mythweaver and his minions a thing or two about classroom etiquette.
<br/>
 
  
The Labyrinth and the city that lies beyond it are buried deep into the jagged hills along the southern border of the Sandtail Desert. Cartographers have adjusted their maps, naming this new region Hollow Heights. The Fungal Cavern, Labyrinth, and city of Zokor all lie within this new region.
+
==== Enrollment Process! ====
<br/>
+
The Tale of the Sorcerer's Apprentice map piece can be purchased from the Bountiful Beanstalk Cartographer for '''1,000,000 Gold''', '''1,000 Golden Goose Eggs''', and requires completion of the Slay the Mythical Giant King adventure for any hunters who have yet to obtain it.
  
Hunters who obtained a Labyrinth Key from the Fungal Cavern can now lead their own expedition out of the caves and into the maze!
+
Alternatively, hunters who earned Thousandth Draft Derby Cheese during the Spring Egg Hunt can earn the map piece by hunting the M1000 at the Table of Contents.
<br/>
 
  
====Navigating the Labyrinth====
+
==== Lessons in the Science of Refraction ====
Early ventures into the Labyrinth have revealed some basic information on its structure and possible ways of navigating it. The Labyrinth consists of a seemingly endless number of hallways and intersections. The hallways are absolutely teeming with powerful mice that guard it, trying to prevent anyone from passing. In order to navigate the hall, a hunter will need to sound their horn, moving one step at a time through the perilous halls.
+
The new Trapsmith at the School of Sorcery has become a master of refractive science and has developed an extraordinary new entry into the line of refractor bases.
<br/>
 
  
When you encounter an intersection, you'll need to choose a doorway to enter the next hallway. Choose wisely! The hallways of the Labyrinth have a variety of lengths and themes. The theme of a hallway dictates the types of mice you'll encounter within the hallway, which then determine the types of clues you'll find by capturing mice.

 +
<center>''' Sorcerer's Sapphire Refractor Base'''</center>
  
The clues you find within the Labyrinth will eventually lead you to one of many exit chambers and into the grand city of Zokor itself. Beware, hunter! Failing to capture a mouse will give your Labyrinth Compass a confusing clue, leading you astray in the maze. This is reflected by "Dead End Clues" -- the more of these you have, the more likely you are to find fewer doors at each intersection.
+
<center>Harness the power of Sorcerer's Sapphires!</center>
<br/>
 
  
Once your Labyrinth Compass has absorbed a total of 100 (or more) clues of any kind, the next intersection at the end of your current hallway will be an exit chamber. The exit chamber will have one or more available exits into Zokor, depending on what and how many clues you collected in the Labyrinth.

====Avoiding the Shadow Stalker====
+
|}
Perhaps the most sinister mouse you'll come across in your explorations is the Shadow Stalker Mouse. This powerful adversary is extremely resistant to all known traps and frequently cripples the courage of hunters who fail to capture them. The great difficulty of capturing these mice is often the greatest cause of dead ends showing up.
 
<br/>
 
  
These mice lurk only in the dark shadows of the Labyrinth and Zokor.<br/>

<br/>
 
  
====The Districts of Zokor====
+
{| style="width: 100%; border-spacing: 1em"
After carefully analyzing inscriptions on the walls of the Labyrinth, the King's archaeologists suspect that the hallway themes correlate with five unique districts within Zokor. These five districts appear to represent aspects Fealty, Technology, Scholarship, Treasure, and Farming. It seems only logical that following the hallways themed after their respective districts will lead a hunter to that district within Zokor itself.

The more of a single type of clue you find while in the Labyrinth, the deeper you'll push into the boundaries of Zokor. Hunters that manage to obtain large quantities of clues will find themselves within deeper areas of the city districts, where the eldest, most powerful (and lucrative) mice reside.

====Navigation Equipment====
+
{| style="width: 100%; border-spacing: 1em"
Amongst the hordes of mice within the Labyrinth are also several shopkeepers who are relieved that they finally have hunters to now purchase their wares! These shop keepers are selling a variety of goods and equipment, many specially designed to help you navigate the Labyrinth.

The shopkeepers are unable to navigate the Labyrinth themselves and, as such, they are only willing to sell many of their wares for the unique items found only within Zokor. You'll need to gather loot from Zokor before you'll be able to purchase most of their equipment.

:The dark hallways of the Labyrinth hide clues from your compass. However, with this lantern illuminated, your compass' efficiency will be boosted! While your lantern is glowing, your compass will absorb +1 clue every time you discover one from a mouse.

<br/>
 
*'''Shuffler's Cube'''
 
:These cubes were invented by a hunter named Shelly Shuffler as an emergency doorway reconfiguration device. When used at an intersection, these cubes quickly bond with the door mechanisms, transforming the doors and repairing any crumbled passageways. Using a Shuffler's Cube causes the Labyrinth to shuffle the currently available hallways in an intersection.
 
<br/>
 
*'''Compass Magnet'''
 
:This special magnet will recalibrate a confused compass! Its powerful pull removes 3 of every type of clue within your compass, freeing up space for more and better clues.
 
<br/>
 
*'''Endless Labyrinth Trap Blueprints'''
 
:These blueprints are filled with unorthodox methods of combining items found in the city of Zokor. The design is one to create a powerful Forgotten trap to help give hunters an edge against mice in the Labyrinth.

====Track Down the Retired Minotaur====
+
-- {{MHP|2818486648263450|Norman Hussey}}
This area's adventure is an epic journey to track down a fabled minotaur that long ago went into hiding. It seems the minotaur became weary of its constant administrative duties and guarding the maze, so it sought out a hiding spot where no hunter would ever find them. As if navigating the maze was not challenging enough, the King is tasking hunters with the adventure of finding the minotaur's hiding place and capturing the powerful adversary!
 
<br/>
 
  
With epic challenges come epic rewards: The King is awarding 1,000,000 Gold and 1,000,000 Points for each minotaur capture! Additionally, the minotaur is rumoured to carry rare loot capable of constructing extremely powerful traps.
+
----
<br/>
 
  
The powerful loot guarded by the minotaur can be listed on the Marketplace, empowering hunters to sell extra loot they have found and buy the loot that they are missing. However, crafting with these special minotaur items still requires other non-marketable loot obtained from the Labyrinth, meaning only accomplished Labyrinth hunters will be able to construct the traps.
