The Lost Ancients I

[Items]

Distinct changes in architecture and tech levels suggest multiple eras and downfalls throughout history, at the very least we can see evidence of two ages before our own. We have: structure Xs which are centrally scattered, and structure Ys scattered north of the Floodlands area. Comparing the two eras, X were considerably more advanced and established than Y, with a markedly larger network and more advanced industry. The unnatural scattering of constructions indicates a highly destructive (man-made or natural) disaster as a possible reason for downfall. The significant change in 'elaborateness' of ruins shows a heavy divide within castes. Y, on the other hand, seems to share some of the same technologies but shows to be a far more ramshackle and inferior version of X. Civilisation X was far more long lived than Y, perhaps Y came into being as a more inferior imitation of X frantically trying to rebuild their lost empire. Theorist Sabina maintains that the surviving skeleton race we see today lived as the dominant inhabitants of X, however this does not explain why the skeletons would not have been able to rebuild their civilisation, based on their advanced knowledge. Either way, based on the tech found in the labs of civilisation X, skeletons definitely existed within this culture. Whether they were merely a creation of X or the sole inhabitants of X we still do not know. Only further surveying will tell. - Finch
