The forgotten city

Deep below the frozen wastes that are the unhabitable lands of Sepernius was said to reside a city devoured by the cogs of time...and tons of ice and snow.
A nameless city that is said to have already existed for a long time before the world became ash 5000 years ago.
Relics telling stories nobody but the gods could know about. Architecture so alien and wonderous it takes away your breath.
Technologies that got lost in the catastrophe and haven't been rediscovered to this very day.

...

I am one of the few living beings who got the chance to actually set foot in that mythical city.
But I was already in a delusive state having lost all my comrades and all our equipment to a giant Ice-Wyrm.
I can't assure you that what I saw can be taken for granted, heck I don't even know how I managed to get back from my expedition.
Maybe...I wasn't so alone down there as I thought I would be?

Geography

The forgotten city is said to be located deep in the ocean under the frozen south-pole of Prius: Sepernius.
Due to how dangerous this vile continent is to any living being not many had attempted to undergo an expedition to find the mythical place. The unusually magnetic atmosphere rendered any way to beat nature with cold-hearted machinery impossible and surviving on foot highly improbable.
Only a handful were able to survive such suicide-level expeditions and none of them but Dross Hegraven were able to even find a crack in the ice to venture underground.
But despite its existence getting confirmed by Sir Hegraven, the forgotten city still remains a myth, as its discoverer was not willing to tell the press how he possibly could have made it back to Etherium.

"Enlightened Watcher Dross Hegraven might have been able to locate an entrance to the city and even explored parts of the mythical place as we were able to read in his journals.
He even provided the church with detailed plans on how to reach that gap in the ice.
But as he denies us any intel on how he rejoined us being the only survivor of an event that took place before him finding the city, we, the Silent Watchers, withhold the title of discoverer of the nameless city until further expeditions retraced his steps confirming the value of the last pages of his journal.
As Sir Hegraven remains now under us as a 'Sudo-Eternal' and is therefore now ageless, we will grant him the title and all rights to dub his discovery after everything got fact-checked.

Thank you."

Day 701:
I managed to escape the wyrm by jumping in the creak Minaera spotted.
Seems like I was the only one lucky enough to make the run or survived the fall.
Neither alive nor deceased comrades were now down with me in the darkness 100 meters below the surface.
Was extremely lucky to survive the fall.

Status: No proviant besides the sad remains of a sandwich in my pocket.

Day 701 (cont.):
I can't believe my eyes.
We...I found the forgotten city!
The cave I landed in turned out to be part of a myth buried for millennia.
This alien place looks like a city made for giants. I was now walking for hours through enormous empty halls made out of unknown glowing materials.
I was unable to read any of the writings on the wall but was able to get a few traces for later studies.

Status: No food, no water; no hope.
I will make the best out of reaching my goal.

Day 702:
Status: Famishing...cold...thirsty. Might not survive this day...or night.
Found a gigantic room, which looked like an assembly hall. In its center, handing from the ceiling bund by thousand tendrils a giant [redacted].
A gorgeous piece of miraculous beauty. Shimmering in the colours of the rainbow.
Desire to unlock the secrets of the [redacted], which is even down here out of place.
Missing strength to sketch, eyes glassy.

Tired.

Minaera, wait for me, I will soon join.
