The Winter King

Not all, or even most, of the great maze of the Labyrinth is in the world. Perhaps the best example of this is the Wide Tract of Rottenness, which looks like a dump in the form of a ring, some five miles wide at its broadest point, encircling the Goblin City. It is a mess, maybe even the quintessential mess, but the path through the Tract doesn't twist and contradict itself and go off on crazy angles. It's just a path.

The problem here is the Junk Ladies. They're probably not all ladies, or even women, but that's beside the point. Sooner or later, they all call themselves Agnes, anyway. Some taxonomists argue that they are a type of goblin; others say no, the Agnessi should, in fact, be classified as a sort of highly evolved hermit crab.
