Ancient city. The capital of a powerful civilization. A place of worship for many gods and trade for the whole land. One day, the volcanic eruption led to the formation of a powerful wave that swept across the land. The city was destroyed. The ruins that can sometimes be seen through the mist of fog are the only thing left of this powerful and beautiful city.

The capital of a powerful civilization. A place of worship for many gods and trade for the whole land. One day, the volcanic eruption led to the formation of a powerful wave that swept across the land, causing massive destruction to the surrounding lands.

The ruins that can sometimes be seen through the mist of fog are the only thing left of this powerful and beautiful city, but thankfully to the map, you are able to move around without a problem. According to it this part of the city contained a temple and buildings for priests and worshipers. Right now most of it is covered in water - the land has reshaped and now a small waterfall broke from nearby mountain and is slowly filling this place.

Of course this climate was a great opportunity for the fauna and flora. Huge flowers and plants were growing, taking advantage of the wet environment, just like herbivores which were able to hide from danger, so those ruins are not so empty anymore.

In the days of glory this city must have looked like a paradise. Beautiful buildings, colorful plants and amazing creatures walking among the people…

But now it’s a ghost town. Only stories kept the legend of this land and with time many stories have risen about the end of those people.

Volcano eruption is a fact - it formed volcanic islands scattered around, but the storytellers like to look for a reason leading to these tragic events.

Popular theory says that too many gods had shrines and temples in this city, so they started to fight about the title of the main deity, but in the process one of the gods decided that this disagreement can cause much more trouble, so the root of it must be destroyed, so he moved the land and water, wiping out the town from the map.

But who knows what really happened? In every story there’s a little bit of truth.
