history[]
Precursor Occupation[]
100,000 years ago, the Precusors used the city as a staging ground. the ancient Grand Council took advanage of Precursor technology, and survived the activation of The Rings, an event known as the 'Great Vanishing'.
Abandonment[]
after the Kryll Wars, the city was abandoned to the marshes, and a replacement capital, New Atlantis, built near the coast. Over the years, the marshlands began to slowly reclaim the complex. It was subsequently taken over by the Nidapiya Tribe.
Rediscovery[]
the outer ruins had been known to the Nidapiya for some time; the more substantial inner temple was discovered by Neyla.
