What happened to the ancient civilisation

[nomis103]

They became fishy.

Now they hang around the swamp and partake in occasional staring competitions with the player.

I've never seen that notification pop up. Guess I'm just a terrible person.

Alright, time to toss in my lot with headcanons and theories of what happened to the Ancient Civilization. Having played as Maxwell and explored the ruins, I've noted some of the quotes he says on some of the objects, and one quote of note that was interesting was when he examined a nightmare light.

 

 

I believe that the Ancients went the same route that Maxwell went. Abusing Their powers and They reacted. Or the Nightmare Fuel simply destroyed the Ancients.

 

Though this quote disturbs me.

 

 

This is Maxwell's examine when the nightmare cycle is in its lull. As it progresses, Maxwell notes the city coming alive again, beating before stilling again. Something's down there. And whatever it was, it terrifies Maxwell.

i knew all that (though the "his is Maxwell's examine when the nightmare cycle is in its lull. As it progresses, Maxwell notes the city coming alive again, beating before stilling again. Something's down there. And whatever it was, it terrifies Maxwell." bit i had not thought of i just meant that i thought the ruins would play a critical part of the story

I did notice the markings on the ruin paths were alot like veins.
Crazy theory connecting the ruins, animal mutations from the fuel, tentacles and Nightmare figures being a part of a single organism that has a beating heart beneath the ruins, anyone?

Maybe the world of DS itself is alive embued with Them with the ruins as its heart, almost any crazy theory goes at this point

Pros: Can craft an ancient altar,starts with 5 thulecite and 1 of every gem

Cons: carrying nightmare fuel and mining statues makes his sanity decrease at a steady rate, very slightly reduced walking speed.
