Endless Corridors of Zanak

The mountain stronghold’s interior stretches in every direction through a maze of narrow, unending corridors. Their metal walls slope inward slightly, bending into tight bends and dead ends that never appear where expected. The air carries a metallic sharpness from decades of damp seeping through the rock, mixing with heat radiating from hidden pipes. Fluorescent strips flicker fitfully, casting long unsteady shadows that shift without pattern, disorienting anyone who lingers too long. Footsteps bounce unpredictably off the angled surfaces, magnifying the smallest sounds into a chorus of approaching danger. Emergency exits glow faintly at intervals, but every marked direction leads back to the same featureless junctions, amplifying the sense of being trapped in an inescapable web of stone and steel.
