Hall of the Ancients Revised Concept

The Hall of the Ancients is an in-world monument and museum dedicated to the ancient factions of The Forgelands. It is not the general archive for all records. Its purpose is to preserve, display, and interpret the ancient civilizations that existed before Andy's modern Forgelands civilization.

The Hall should contain life-sized dioramas, faction exhibits, artifacts, lore tablets, books, and visual scenes that explain the known ancient factions. It should feel like a natural history museum, mythological archive, and archaeological exhibit space combined.

Current Known Faction Exhibits

• Smithies
• Copperlings
• Agrarians
• Mystics

The wider canon includes twelve ancient factions total, but only four are currently known in detail. The Hall may eventually contain space for twelve exhibits, with undiscovered wings left sealed, dark, incomplete, or under excavation.

Relationship to Hall of Records

The Hall of the Ancients is for ancient faction history. The Hall of Records is for journals, maps, plans, supporter records, modern documents, and Andy's living archive.
