Ancient dungeon that took a year to be hacked.

This dungeon was mentioned as having a backdoor to Gunlag's lair. The Old Party spent forever hacking this very very large dungeon. Notable events and locations:

• A room with a giant hourglass with an octopus figurine floating in it. The hourglass didn't have much time left on it, and there were lots of equations on the wall ending with "Octopuses will return".
• There was a room with many wierd shaped projections on the floor and a magical light source. When a lever (or knob?) was set elsewhere the the light source would change color. Some colors made the shadows cast by the projectons come to life and attack us.
• There was a race of Lizard Men there, with one giant Lizard Man as thier king(or god?). Gregoria Disintegrated the big lizard, and we fought the rest of them. We killed all the warriors, then the women killed the children and themselves. Throk followers are now after Harald and Gregoria (sort of successfully, so far) to have their revenge for us killing lizards.
• Some kobolds lived in a warren attached to the dungeon. They were dumb, but their leader had wand of lightning bolts, so we didn't get to kill them all.
• Cain (yeah, THAT Cain) lived in part of the dungeon. He had made a clay Golem he named Eve. We killed it. We also killed some beings who referred to themselves as Cain's Children. When one was killed the others got stronger.
• One part of the dungeon had been an elven stronghold long ago. We fought undead elves with thier hands cut off and weapons attached. Harald got his Elven Chain (see Items of Note) there. We also woke up Hler, who had been trapped in a magic mirror. He told us of his heyday, when Balder and other Norse gods were merely powerful tribal leaders.
• In one part of the Dungeon, near Cain, we found a demoness who looked like a naked beautiful winged woman holding a sword. It seemed like she had been trapped by Cain. She tricked Harald into washing a blood sigil off of the door of her prison, and she escaped. Later she may have slept with Harald, possbly leading to a child who teamed up with Lord Evelake.
• There was a crazy room with platforms suspended by chains over pits of molten lava.
• Part of the dungeon was flooded, and some rooms were submerged. We talked with some otters who lived there. They were nice.
• There was a giant room with some spots that were cold enough to be damaging. A Remoraz lived there, but we killed it.

We found a note in this dungeon written by Igwolf where she seems confused by how old the dungeon really is. She claims that the dungeon is so old, it should predate everything else on Earth. She says it's probably a mistake, but then again, she's a powerful wizard, she probably doesn't make that many mistakes.

More information on the One-Year Dungeon can be found in Heloise's First Notebook and Second Notebook

The dungeon is now destroyed. When Kebnekaise blew its top thanks to the Byzantine Envoys, the dungeon was flooded with lava and then crushed under the weight of the mountain.
