	According to locals the cave was once the final resting place of either Zoria or her belongings. But it was attacked and looted by a Thule raiding party over a century ago and everything of value from the cave was taken. In truth nobody alive remembers exactly what was supposed to be kept here, and nobody has ever been in a position to ask the Thule what they took.

	If Zoria ever had an [[inspirational ~~tomb~~]], no-one alive now knows where it lies. There are no records of such a tomb and is questionable if anyone could really claim to know where Zoria lies. She likely lived more than a thousand years ago - so it is doubtful that anyone can be certain of what became of her. But both the maze and the cave have some claim to be the ideal site for an inspirational tomb to memorialise Zoria's Wisdom. Either could easily be consecrated with true liao if a dose could be obtained and that would almost certainly ensure a new generation of pilgrims that would come to bear witness to the paragon's Wisdom.

	Perhaps a more realistic prospect is that a large shrine might be built to house what knowledge the Empire has left of Zoria's teachings. 20 wains of white granite and 5 thrones would allow the creation of a well-appointed building that would serve the purpose well. The Empire would need to appoint a guardian to look after the shrine, but they would receive an additional 9 liao and 18 votes in the Imperial Synod to account for the visiting pilgrims. The constitutional court suggest that the title could either be appointed annually, or with tenure, and that the ideal electors would be either the Varushkan National Assembly or the Assembly of Wisdom. Both assemblies have some claim to Zoria's legacy.

	Despite the claims of the ~~Varushka~~ and Wisdom Assemblies, the maze is not the only site associated with Zoria. In the far north of the Empire, the Opascari mountains separate Varushka from the lands of the [[Thule]] to the north. Nestled between five great peaks is a tiny peak, Black Hill, so small it is barely a mountain at all. Some say it is black because of the rock of which the hill is made, others that it is dark because the surrounding mountains are so high that the sun can never fall on Black Hill.

	At the foot of Black Hill is a cave which leads deep into the mountain where it opens out into a set of winding twisting caves. This is no true labyrinth, just a long twisting passage that will occasionally open out into a majestic cavern filled with strange purple and blue columns that rise up to the ceiling. It is arduous going but relatively easy to find your way through the cave to the heart of the mountain.
