Dark Mazes
The Dark Mazes are an inexplicable phenomenon, their origin and habits unknown to any scholar. They are a misty maze of simple twists and turns that any creature can discover and follow, a place that thinks and hunts like a creature. After cold foggy nights, villagers of the Dark Barony will often find the corpses of loved ones in the marsh-fields, torn to pieces and bones splintered, no trace of what had killed them.
A number of these creatures were created years ago on the Floating Island by the son of an Aysen bureaucrat who was heavily advocating a full scale assault against the Dark Barony. The young man had been given "special books" by a mysterious stranger and when he summoned them, he was destroyed by the very creatures he'd created. The message to his father was clear.
The maze-elementals have since been at large, though they seem to frequent the area around Castle Sengir.
