Black Camp
A small encampment formed around a sacred pillar.  It currently has a population of 6.  Its amenities are few, but homey.

Black Beast
A Black Beast is currently accompanying the sacred pillar, as is normal.

Structures
The Black Camp currently contains two buildings: a medical facility and a modest house.

Gates
The Black Camp contains Gates to the School of Rust, the Submarine of Shadow, and the Forest of Holes.  The Gate of Truth has appeared before, but is no longer present.

School of Rust
A dilapidated school covered in rust.  Accessed through the Red Gate.

Red Beast
The Clawed Girl can be found singing in an upstairs room.  Do not disturb.  An additional, Beast-like presence has been felt, though not observed.

Book of Claws
A mysterious book with supernatural power.  Said to exist on the bottom floor of the School.  Perhaps the Beast-like presence described above?

Faceless Beings
The lower hallways of the School of Rust are filled with Faceless Beings.  They appear to avoid the upper floor where the Red Beast can be found.

Submarine of Shadow
An old submarine filled with shadows.  Accessed through the Orange Gate.  The light and darkness within the submarine is controlled by a confusing array of light switches.

Orange Beast
The Thousand Eyed can be found wherever there is darkness.  Do not disturb.

Destabilization
The Submarine of Shadow appears to be in a state of destabilization.  While this destabilization has been resolved, its effects may still be felt.

Forest of Holes
An ancient forest stuck in twilight.  Accessed through the Yellow Gate.  Large portions are nonexistent, likely as a result of the destabilization originating from the Submarine of Shadow.

Yellow Beast
An unknown organism that sacrificed itself to resolve the destabilization infecting the Maze.  Left a cheat-sheet behind so that the Violet Beast could perform its duties.

Violet Beast
Goldie can move throughout the Maze and does not appear to dwell in any particular location.  Pleasant; don't worry about disturbing.

Destabilization
Much of the Forest of Holes has been rendered nonexistent.  As such, travel through it is dangerous without the use of the Closed Eye Lens or the assistance of the Violet Beast.

Fragments
Compared to the prior Mazes, the Forest of Holes appears to have had only 6 Fragments.  It is unknown if this is do to the aforementioned destabilization or is a trait of the Maze.

Moss-Covered Temple
A crumbling temple covered in moss and vines.  Accessed through the Green Gate.  Unlike other Mazes, exiting does not appear possible until the Maze is completed.

Green Beast
Medusa can be found somewhere within the Moss-Covered Temple.  According to the Violet Beast, she exists within every Green Maze and possesses great knowledge.  Pleasant?

White City
The city of the Lunes.  It is an independent world existing within the void.

White Beast
Due to the similarities between Lunes and Black Beasts, Lunes are often referred to as White Beasts.  As the Lunes were once a Black Beast, this designation is reasonable.

First Lune
The first Lune was a Black Beast created by the Pillar that later became the White City.  Unlike the vast majority of Black Beasts, this proto-Lune contained a piece of a Fragment.  Thanks to this piece, it was capable of understanding the slow death of its Pillar and acted to reverse it.  In place of a Fragment, it attempted to offer up its own piece to the Pillar.  Thanks to the sacrifice of one of the Shut-Eyed Girl's eyes, the proto-Lune was able to create a Red Gate.  In doing so, it also became an existence similar to a wanderer.

Colorless World
A "place" between life and death.

Shut-Eyed Girl
A strange girl with closed eyes.  She is currently located within the Colorless World due to her refusal to pass on.  She uses her position to assist other wanders who approach or pass through the Colorless World.  Thanks to her sacrifice of an eye, the White City was able to come into existence.

The Story of Shut Eyes
There once was a young girl who found herself lost in a nightmare.  No matter which may she turned, she couldn't wake up.  After turning around for quite a bit, and becoming rather dizzy, she found other people like herself.

None of them could wake up, so they decided they'd turn the nightmare into a good dream.  They collected pieces of good things, and slowly made the dream brighter.

But one by one her friends woke up, leaving behind the good dream they were all working so hard on.  Eventually, only the young girl was left.  She didn't want to wake up, she wanted to finish the good dream everyone had tried so hard to create.  But she too eventually woke up, and found herself in a strange place.  Not quite awake and not quite asleep, she found herself surrounded by a completely colorless world.

She couldn't go back to sleep, but she still didn't want to wake up, so she closed her eyes tight and stayed where she was.  A long and lonely time passed.

Eventually she found someone else wandering close to the edge of the dream, someone like her would truly wanted to create a good dream.  But unlike the young girl, she didn't have any friends at all.  Seeing this, the young girl gave the wanderer one of her own eyes, so that they wouldn't be alone even without friends.

As the young girl watched the wanderer create a good dream through the eye she gave them, she finally felt satisfied.  She's still there, between waking and dreams, giving her aid to all who wish to live in a happy world.

Dear Diary,

I don't like this, but do I really have a choice?  There's nothing here other than those damn gates.  Shit, and Jessica's still injured after that last time.  What the hell even was that?  Man, I hope I find some bandages or a med kit or something...

Scrap #2
I hope they come back soon.  Its getting hard to open my eyes...

Scrap #3
If you're reading this, be careful, okay?  Stay away from those faceless things.

If Rainy's still here... take care of her, okay?  I couldn't but, you're still alive, so...
