History

"Before dusk settled over the world— No one even thinks about the vestiges of a land once brimming with water. Even so, people cling to this land, vigorously living out their lives. "

          — Narration

It's also known as "The Village of The Ruin". The village itself is located upon a giant gear-like ruin. To be able to excavate artifacts from the ruins, a village was established.

For a long time, plenty of useful minerals and ancient relics were excavated from these ruins. The town was founded by humans as a settlement at the ancient foot of the mountain for mining the limited natural resources.

Now, excavations have been finished for the better part of the ruins. However, in the surrounding natural resources can still be found, and there should be yet unexcavated areas of the ruins.

As a result of the examination of ancient relics, etc. excavated from the ruins, it has become clear that the ruins in all likelihood once were a water pumping facility.

Ruin

The ruin of Riesengang has three parts, and connects to the ruins of Oesten Swamp. The ruin was most likely a water pumping facility when it was still in use. The ruin also has plenty of slag-type monsters that the player can fight. Within the Middle Area of the ruins, the Fortress and Tank are located.
