| “ | Within an hour they had left the safety of Woden's Bathtub and were entering the tricky currents and needle-sharp rocks of the Mazy Multitudes. ... Huge black mountains with grim scrabbles of rock rose on either side of them. The greasy sea swirled underneath, with every now and then a pointy rock appearing out of nowhere in the mist, so that the Second Kidnapper had to swiftly steer the boat clear | ” |

Geography
The Mazy Multitudes is located in the central part of the Barbaric Archipelago. Adjacent from the North is the Meathead Islands and the Sea-Known-As-Woden's-Bathtub. Adjacent to the West is the Summer Current and Berserk. To the South lies the Mystery, and to the west lies Villainy. From the southwest is Hysteria.
The name most likely derives from the high number of tiny islands and their close proximity to each other, making navigation through them 'maze like'. It is amongst these islands that Roman Fort Sinister is situated, hidden from the rest of the Archipelago.
