> yet another Ryo Zan Paku reference

Patchy sure has gotten into every obscure supernatural corner of the UF 'verse, huh? Wonder what she'd make of the Prydonia Chapter Academy library.

Ryo Zan Paku's "labyrinth" being mentioned in the same breath as "the Logrus of the Courts of Chaos" caught my eye on two grounds:

1) If memory serves, this marks the first ever appearance of cosmological elements from Zelazny's Amber setting as real-in-UF (as opposed to the books existing within UF, which was established all the way back in Symphony No. 1). I look forward to hearing more about how it fits together with the established cosmology.

2) Is that labyrinth actually the Pattern?
