	== Access ==		==Plaza==
			All [[Plaza]]s in a [[trunk zone]] are guarded by a special [[guardian]], either an [[Ancient]] in tier one, or a [[Legend]] in tier two and above.

			Defeating the [[guardian]] of a [[Plaza]] grants completion for it to every participant in the fight. The [[Plaza]] [[Guardian]] does not appear to count as a lair for [[Gate]]s, but anyone with [[Plaza]] completion can access every [[Profession]] for the [[tier]], regardless of the [[Plaza]]'s actual [[Profession]] set.
			= Access =
	Access to [[trunk zone]]s is non-obvious. Instead of being at the connecting [[zone]]'s periphery, the [[Gate]] connecting a normal [[zone]] of the [[Labyrinth]] to a [[trunk zone]] is always located at the end of a [[lair]]. To distinguish itself from a normal [[Gate]], this access [[gate]] appears to sport cubic metal shapes rather than the normal decorative [[creature]] head sculptures that every other [[Gate]] has.

	While normal [[Gate]]s require completing a number of [[lair]]s equal to the [[tier]] it opens to, access to the trunk [[Gate]] itself requires every [[Professional]] in range to have completed every single [[lair]] in the [[zone]]. This is more challenging than normal completion, as the [[zone]] may have a huge number of [[lair]]s, [[major lair]]s requiring the defeat of a [[Legend\|legendary]] creature, or rare [[lair]]s whose [[guardian]]s spawn only infrequently.

			= Size =
			All interconnected [[Trunk zone]]s constitute a so-called '''trunk''', stretching across a limited number of tiers. The lowest and highest tiers in the trunk have sculptures looking like Gates at the locations that would lead to upper or lower tiers, but made of simple stone, and inert.

			An exception to that rule is that a [[nexus zone]] sometimes happen to connect to the end-point of the trunk instead of a simple dead-end. Unlike a normal connection, the [[Nexus zone]] is of the same [[tier]] as the last [[trunk zone]] it connects to.

[[Trunk zone]]s are a special category of [[zones]] found in the [[Labyrinth]].

The term trunk appears in the [[location]] [[descriptor]] of a [[Professional]] while in the [[zone]], but not on the transit [[gate]] [[descriptor]]s.

The existence of [[trunk zone]]s has spurred the speculation that other type of [[zones]] may exist, but the existence of any remains unconfirmed; speculation about "end zones" (zones with a single gate), "treasure zones" (filled with only lairs) and other wild imagining remain rampant.

== General appearance ==
[[Trunk zone]]s appear in general as standard [[zones]], with a much lower variety. All [[trunk zone]]s follow a relatively simple and unvarying theme for the zone, and typically have a single type of [[creature]] inside, with few variations.

[[Trunk zone]]s are also relatively small in size, much more than any other [[zone]] encountered.
===Fast Travel and Recall===
[[Trunk zone]]s appear to have a permanent day hour and no visible moon.

Accordingly, neither [[Recall]] nor [[Fast travel]] time charges accumulate while in a [[trunk zone]]. A [[Professional]] who enters a [[trunk zone]] with no charges for either has no other option but to leave by [[Gate]], hopefully to a [[zone]] where charges accumulate normally.
== Access ==
Access to [[trunk zone]]s is non-obvious. Instead of being at the connecting [[zone]]'s periphery, the [[Gate]] connecting a normal [[zone]] of the [[Labyrinth]] to a [[trunk zone]] is always located at the end of a [[lair]]. To distinguish itself from a normal [[Gate]], this access [[gate]] appears to sport cubic metal shapes rather than the normal decorative [[creature]] head sculptures that every other [[Gate]] has.

While normal [[Gate]]s require completing a number of [[lair]]s equal to the [[tier]] it opens to, access to the trunk [[Gate]] itself requires every [[Professional]] in range to have completed every single [[lair]] in the [[zone]]. This is more challenging than normal completion, as the [[zone]] may have a huge number of [[lair]]s, [[major lair]]s requiring the defeat of a [[Legend|legendary]] creature, or rare [[lair]]s whose [[guardian]]s spawn only infrequently.
== Gates ==
[[Trunk zone]]s appear to have a fixed scheme of [[Gate]]s. There are six [[Gate]]s, located in an hexagonal pattern. Four [[Gate]]s lead to four different, widely separated [[zones]] of the same [[tier]] as the [[trunk zone]]'s. Two [[Gate]]s, at opposite points of the hexagon, lead to a lower-[[tier]] [[trunk zone]] and an upper-[[tier]] [[trunk zone]]. That scheme and the relatively small size of each [[trunk zone]] has led to the speculation that [[trunk zone]]s are intended as shortcuts to cross the [[Labyrinth]] when [[Fast travel|Fast Travel]] is not an option.

The [[Gate]] itself does not appear to require completion of every encounter in the [[trunk zone]], prompting the speculation that the full completion criteria only applies to getting access, not crossing the [[Gate]]. This distinction appears to be more of a philosophical nature than a practical one.
