The Sunken Ruins
A drowned city of stone and secrets waiting beneath the waves for a new leader to rise.
The Sunken Ruins serve as a submerged ancient civilization buried beneath the ocean floor, acting as one of the key biomes in the Lamb's journey to spread its faith. This mysterious underwater realm is characterized by crumbling stone architecture overgrown with coral and marine life, hinting at a forgotten society that once thrived before being claimed by the sea. For the faithful Lamb, these ruins represent both a spiritual trial and a source of ancient knowledge required to progress in their crusade against the Dark Lord.

Lore & Background
In the present timeline, these ruins have become a testing ground for the Lamb's resolve. The water here is thick with remnants of the past, including corrupted spirits that guard the secrets of the ancients. It is said that within the deepest chambers lies evidence of how previous cults or civilizations attempted to harness forbidden power, serving as a grim warning to those who seek to challenge the Dark Lord without true devotion.
In Their Own Story
The pressure builds against the mask as the Lamb descends into the blue gloom. Above, the surface world is a blur of sunlight and sea foam; below, only the bioluminescent glow of strange fish pierces the darkness. The stone pillars, once towering monuments to a lost age, now stand like broken teeth in the ocean floor. A shadow detaches itself from a crumbling archway—a guardian of the deep, its eyes burning with an ancient malice. The Lamb raises their scythe, not out of fear, but out of duty. The water ripples as the first strike lands, echoing through the silent city like a thunderclap.
