Spiral Labyrinth

The Spiral Labyrinth is the central home of warlock magical research and knowledge. It is considered the underground headquarters of the world's warlocks, of scholars and students of lore, where a great deal of arcane knowledge is hidden. All of the ancient magic of the warlocks, as well as the magic that has been invented in recent years, is dutifully recorded and kept in the Labyrinth. The Labyrinth is managed by the Spiral Council.

The location of the Spiral Labyrinth is unknown, even to the Nephilim. It exists in its own pocket dimension separate from Earth. The Spiral Labyrinth can only be accessed through Portals. Its age is also unknown but according to the earliest Nephilimic writings, it was already considered ancient at the time of Elphas the Unsteady.

Jordan Kyle once argued that the Spiral Labyrinth's records were so extensive that it rivaled the Silent Brothers' archives and that the werewolves had nothing that could compare, but the Praetor Lupus' library was the only one that could come close.

The sigil of the Labyrinth is a spiral symbol.
