Being curious about the gonefolk is like sucking on death’s neck
Many generations have passed since the great disaster. Earth is growing, consuming all the gonefolk built. This reclaiming created many new spaces for creatures to venture into seeking new homes. Spaces the gonefolk took for their wants barring small creatures. The gonefolk’s machines may no longer work but their damaging effects remain.
Making your way will not be easy, little ones. You must be brave. You will encounter things you do not understand...
...but, travel carefully little ones, the gonefolk’s spirits remain trapped in their massive, tiled stone dens.
As do the roving gangs of cats.
