The Ruined Golden Atelier
Once the cultural heart of Dum Ramil, the Golden Atelier was home to the city's most renowned artists, sculptors, and visionaries. Now, it stands as a crumbling monument to lost ambition, abandoned to the red mist that shrouds the Violent Sorrow. Its halls, once filled with the laughter of creative minds, now echo with the whispers of something far less human.
A Masterpiece in Ruin
The Golden Atelier was built as a sanctuary for artistic brilliance, its galleries adorned with murals, frescoes, and sculptures that told the stories of the Eternal Empire and Dum Ramil’s greatest moments. But now, the arches have fallen, the walls are cracked, and the once-priceless paintings are torn, their images twisted by time and decay.
Yet, some say the Atelier is not empty. Some claim that certain paintings watch those who wander too close, their eyes shifting when one looks away. Others swear that sculptures move at night, shifting their poses, as though they remember what they once were.

A Treasure Trove or a Curse?
Despite its ominous reputation, some adventurers believe the Atelier still holds treasures—priceless art, enchanted sculptures, or relics of an age gone by. Yet, few dare to linger, for the Violent Sorrow does not suffer trespassers lightly.
Those who seek beauty in the ruins of the Atelier may find something staring back.
"A painting is but a reflection of the soul. So what does it mean when the reflection stares back?"
