Labyrinthian, the Testing Grounds of Shalidor

Hello everyone, I'm Hemitheon, but on here I'll be Hemi. I've been working on the treacherous dungeon of Labyrinthian built by Archmagus Shalidor to house Glamoril. So I decided to open this topic for screenshots, ideas, lore, and any related information. In case you don't know me I worked on Tamriel Rebuilt for almost three years. I have since left that organization and hope to give my full attention to this project. BTW, did you know Labyrinthian's First Level is the equivalent to 7 cells in Morrowind.

Currently, I'm recreating Labyrinthian as seen in Arena. Unfortunately, I have yet to survive long enough to actually get to see Labyrinthian. As a result, I have begun recreating it, partly by the maps, and partly with my own creativity. What I need now is an extremely detailed walkthrough for Labyrinthian. For instance, the general walkthroughs talk about the three doors and that if you go through the middle door, you'll get a backstory detailing the need for a magic key. What I want to know is how the player receives that backstory. Is it from a scroll? a person? What exactly is the player told? Once I have level 1 finished, I'll post screens.

Hi Hemi,

I've asked a guy who is a guru in Arena and I hope I'll get a reply soon...I can't realy remember that passage on Labyrinthian, it's to long ago the I've finished Arena. If noone knows an answer I'll start a new game and explore the world of Tamriel again.

Cheers Lestat

Hej Hemi,

to ask your questions -

- You just get a textmessage if you want to go through the door, the backstory. It's just pop up, no scroll, nothing, like as a voice would call you ~
- What you get for a message - i do not know, therefor i have to play it by myself again. It's too long ago. But i can say that there is no other Person - you are alone -

The riddles are on uesp, think you know it.

Found it. Thanks.

cannot get through,
I, with a gentle touch, can do;
And many in these twisted halls would stand,
Were I not, as a friend, at hand... "

Hopefully these will give you a glimpse of what I'm doing. Unfortunately, when I tried using them the image came out all distorted.
