And it can instantly zap people out of it, or far away from its vast perimeters. [[Reigan Shen]] learned this. (Reaper, ch 24)

 #Hunger madra authority — the most recent layer of authority, based on experiments by/with [[Subject One]], who virtually brought  hunger madra to life. (Subject One is sometimes called “The Father of Hunger” according to Elder Whisperer (Reaper, ch 1)) Lindon’s arm is based on hunger madra and he employs hunger techniques.
 #Soulsmith authority — some of Cradle’s most advanced [[soulsmithing|soulsmiths]] forged amazing weapons and other artifacts in the Labyrinth. Some soulsmiths in the maze researched [[hunger madra]] and unintentionally developed the [[Dreadgod]]s. Some could even be Lindon’s ancestors. Lindon recently used his new soul-forge, a gift from Eithan, in the Labyrinth

 #Original [[Abidan]] Judges — “the oldest and most powerful layer. The original creators of the labyrinth. Seven pillars of order and structure.” This presence feels similar to the marble [[Suriel]] gave Lindon.

 ===Entrances in [[Sacred Valley]]===
-The labyrinth runs beneath the four holy peaks of [[Sacred Valley]] and underneath the valley itself. Sacred Valley has two entrances to the Labyrinth. The stone gates are marked with symbols of [[Dreadgod|Dreadgods]]. The easiest to access is the Nethergate, a towering stone doorway at the base of Yoma Mountain. That gate opens once every ten years, allowing access to the sacred treasures in nearby rooms only.

 The second gate in Sacred Valley is accessed via the huge Ancestor’s Tomb, near Heaven’s Glory School, high on Mount Samara.
