The Haven Initiation is on paper rather simple but can, in reality, be a bit more of a complex challenge.

The task the students are faced with it is finding an item and make their way out a massive labyrinth made out tunnels, stairs, and abandoned elevator shafts all located in the now Grimm infested Mount Ōrail. Not only is the 3Dimensional labyrinth a pain to navigate it’s also filled traps and Grimm, most of the Grimm that populate the labyrinth is Centinels but it’s not rare to find other common Grimm like Beowolfs and Boarbartusks who have found their way into the mountain.

The students are told to find enough people to form a four person team before being simply dropped by slides in darkness into different parts of the maze with a sign telling them to

“seek the center to find the hidden path”.

However, finding the center of a 3Dimensional labyrinth you know nothing about or where you are in it can be a rather tough challenge on its own but to make it more annoying many of the corridors are poorly lighted if they have light at all. There are also traps in the labyrinth ranging from simple tripwires to dust based dart or even bolder traps. The most common traps are however trapdoors that if stepped on drop you down one floor.

In the middle of the room is a door leading into a room, this door has three levers and a sign saying

“ the huntsmen who are first fight alone is the huntsman who falls”.

The door won’t open unless all are pulled down and will only stay open so long as all the levers are pulled but will close off more than one person tries to enter the room at the same time. Additionally, once it’s been closed the door can’t be open until five minutes have ed Inside the door is a room filled with lanterns that when lit shines with ultraviolet light that then show a hidden marked path that shows the closest way out. Inside the room is yet another sign saying

“ follow the light of knowledge, find the path out of thunder, and Winn as the team who unlocked the path”.

The rest of the Initiation is simply finding their pathway out while dealing with Grimm and any traps they haven’t triggered yet.
