"The LABYRINTH OF TIGERS is open under the patronage of the LONDON ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY to CAUTIOUS VISITORS for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES. Here you may see the DEVIL-APES of FAR MANDELAY. The THING IN THE MIRROR. The CANTIGASTER'S CHILDREN. The gargantuan CAVE-SNAKE. The INHABITER OF WOLVES. The HYBRID FIEND. N.B. The MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDS that you arrange your exit WELL BEFORE CLOSING TIME."

The Labyrinth of Tigers is a convoluted hybrid of the London Zoo and Bedlam, where the tigers and only the tigers walk free.

The Coils of the Labyrinth[]

The Masters run shops at the entrance to the Labyrinth.

The First Coil[]

The First Coil is home to a few surface-appeal exhibits, such as Walter the rhinoceros, Mary the octopus, Jane the giant lizard, and a pack of hyenas.

The Second Coil[]

The Second Coil is home to some more Neathily weird creatures: immortal beetles, man-eating crocodiles, lemurs who dethrone their leaders monthly, Thomas the giant crab, Abraham (another giant lizard), George the cave-snake, Robert and Elizabeth the penguins, Percy the leopard, the Bifurcated Owl, the Inhabiter of Wolves, and the Thing in the Mirror.

The Third Coil[]

The Third Coil houses many of the Labyrinth's human exhibits - mostly madmen and -women, though a few are criminals. Oddly, no mirrors are allowed in this coil... maybe because there are people housed here?

The Fourth Coil[]

The Fourth Coil is facility run by the Bishop of Southwark for his plan to create beasts of war for another campaign against Hell.

The Fifth Coil[]

The Fifth Coil is the Tigers' embassy in London for the Court of the Wakeful Eye in the Elder Continent.
