Areas: Sea of Ash
|
|
Perhaps one of the most interesting areas of PD Orta. Extending through the Li Vis area in the northwestern region of the continent, the Sea of Ash is all that remains of what was once a city of the Ancient Age. The white powder that forms the desert reveals that this city was destroyed by an immense force, turning almost everything into dust. |
| Strange stone blocks are scattered throughout the area which don't appear to have been buildings themselves. A lot of blocks seem to be plates that were stacked on top of each other, and don't look like buildings at all. One of my theories is that these were in fact building materials. In fact, this area could have been a construction site. The huge ruin in the centre could have been what they were working on.
Orta and Lagi also fly through a series of broken tunnels, placed on the surface, that are protected by a series of bio monsters that are capable of releasing electric charges, aimed at disabling the nervous system of intruders. This leads to the conclusion that the inhabitants of the city wanted to protect themselves from attacks of bio-engineered monsters. Exactly where these tunnels began and end remains unknown, but I have a theory that might explain what their purpose was. There are several openings in the surface that lead to a complex underground structure, where we again encounter creatures that release electric charges. Looking at the crater that served as an entrance, we can see that the edges are pointed outwards. This could indicate that the explosion that destroyed the city originated from underground. Perhaps the enemy was unsuccessful in attacking the city and ultimately used a weapon that could destroy the city in one devastating explosion. The tunnels could have been the entrance to the underground part of the city.

The underground structures consist of huge pillars that go all the way down to unexplored depths. Lots of smaller pillars are placed horizontally, perhaps to reinforce the entire structure and prevent it from collapsing. However, there's no sign of any plateaus on which settlements could have been built. This almost led me to believe that the surface itself was a plateau that was held up in the sky, but this wouldn't make much sense... Again, the truth remains hidden.
|
| Just before the battle with the Catharp, Orta and Lagi fly over a broken bridge that holds markings we have seen on other ancient structures. The bridge ends just above a gigantic crater. According to Pandora's Box, this is an area known as the Epicenter. The forces that destroyed the city were concentrated in this point. The fact that there was a bridge means that there must have been some sort of ravine there even before the attack happened. Perhaps this was the main entrance to the underground section, which would explain why the attack happened there.

| The final part of the area with the Catharp, has some primitive looking kind of fences. These are similar to those that we see around the small houses in Episode 8. Perhaps they share the same function and there were small houses built around them for the workers that were building at the construction site.
