Located at the center of the Labyrinth, right next to Junk City, Goblin City is the home to Jareth's Castle.
The goblins spend much of their time in the castle rather than in the city, so the streets frequently appear empty other than a few chickens running around.
Around the city stands a large wall with two doors, one inside the other. The first door is guarded by a sleeping goblin, while the second is guarded by Humongous.
Underneath the city there are tunnels that connect to caves inside Gringotts in London.

The forest is filled with magical animals, plants, and even magical rocks and creeks.
Elves, dwarves, faeries, and other mythical creatures reside in the forest.
There are trees that talk and with branches they will push people off their horses, and thorny bushes which will open to let people in but close and leave people stuck inside.
There are even creeks which turn unwary travelers into frogs if drunk from, and even sorcerers live somewhere in the depths of the forest.
