MAZEWORLD is an earth-like planet once governed by a number of higher beings who ruled from magical houses scattered across the globe. But the ruling deities departed long ago, and their houses have fallen into ruin. The total number of these amazing structures is not known; many are thought to be lost, swept under sand dunes or concealed in dense rain forests. Those that remain in the public eye have been cut off from civilization, ignored and avoided as accursed ground. Even those who succumbed to curiosity found the great doors shut and unmoving.
