* Assistants to help with various potential Leadership-style tasks, though they will not adventure with you.

* Bases to work out of in various cities

=== The Endless Maze ===

+

The centerpiece of the campaign is the Endless Maze - a tower that rises so high as to go beyond the sight of the vast human civilization that lives at its base. It is believed to go at least several ''thousand'' stories into the sky - perhaps above the tallest mountains of the world, though measurements have never been precise, thanks to the powerful antimagic and antipsionic fields that seem bent into its obsidian walls. Quite simply, when it comes to magic, psionics, et cetera, things inside don't go out, nor things outside in, except through the front door - which only opens at the three hours before sunrise, and the three hours after sunset each day, on what is presumed to be a mechanical system. (The door itself isn't antimagic, but is indestructible by any known means - so you can use spells like ''sending'' to communicate through the door, you just can't ''enter or leave'' while it's shut.)

+

Within the maze, there are untold treasures, monsters, even entire (usually small) civilizations. As large as it is on the outside, different floors are unpredictable on the inside - and the tower itself seems to have some will of its own, forcing those who enter it to follow certain rules it has posited - most particularly, that teleportation only works within a single floor, or between specific floors once adventurers have reached them.

+

The Endless Maze's doors only began opening a few years ago - exploration has only gone up ten floors, and none from outside have dared establish permanent settlement beyond the first. Of course, since when has that stopped a hardy batch of adventurers from going far, far higher than that?
