Secret Sanctum of Bhhalika

Found in the Sundevil Valley hidden in the rolling mountain ranges.  An old labyrinth and grave to the minotaurs that once lived there, said to be cursed by a skeletal guardian that walks its halls.   
The Architect
Vasilis Dimitri used the labor of Minotaurs captured in the native lands, and housed them in the Labyrinth below Sundevil Valley. He was rather fond of the beasts unlike other mages who only used the Minotaurs for their labor. Vasilis even attempted to train academics to some of the minotaurs. One minotaur of special note was Moghajur, who was by far his favorite. Mog was particularly well spoken, and Vasilis brought him with him into town often, claiming Mog as his best friend and personal bodyguard and son a few times.
  Before the rise of the Free Cities of Mages, Grohm was a military stronghold and port of the largest and most prosperous empire in Eastern Mage Lands. The southern cities of Civule (modern day city of Farrow) was originally founded in 983 DG by Sir Franz Ryson II as an expansive group of settlements from the growing Empire. Farrow was the first of the cities to be formed, and was the first to rebel from The Mages government in 1242 DG, led by Sir Locke Von Raven and his party of rebels during the Great Civil War of Liberation. It was Sir Locke’s very own spatha that ended Vasilis Dimitri’s life, but Moghajur and the Labyrinth of Moghajur was never reported to be found. Some of the Minotaurs fought in the war and perished, some tried to escape only to be were captured, but alas all of the inhabitants of the Labyrinth that did not flee died of starvation shortly after.
  In life, Vasilis was a good man of lawful nature, and a kind soul to his Minotaurs. His spirit haunts the Labyrinth eternally and it’s vengeful anger before his death has spawned an old wraith from history's forgotten past to be reborn inside the tomb.
