Maze of the Dead

Built before the birth of Christ according to legend, the underground city of Cappadocia in Turkey is still shrouded in mystery.

Several centuries after Cappadocia was established, a reigning monarch converted a similar underground temple nearby into an extravagant palace.

This temple stands above a deep chasm claimed from ancient times to be the gateway to Hades. The interior of the temple contains the section that was converted into a palace. In addition, a cavern exists beyond the palace, followed by more unexplored nether regions. No one knows for sure what exists down there.

The palace itself is in ruins now, thanks to those who turned it into a rock quarry of sorts. However, the lower underground areas remain intact.

Since treasure seeking thieves who venture into the lower levels of the ruins never come back alive, no one but the most foolhardy enter this place now.
