As a place, it had existed for as long as anyone could recall, formed by ancient magicks, deep in the Underground.

It's form was fluid then, made whole and firm by the first goblin king, then reformed by the will of every one that followed.

Under the rule of it's greatest commander, the labyrinth was at the height of it's beauty, majesty, and complexity, with images of Jareth hidden at every turn.

And so it remained, until his last breath, when the next great goblin king was granted their own thirteen hours to reshape the old world one more time.
