Yitdish Ruins

The Yitdish Ruins were the original settlement of the Elironid tribe. The ruins are partially submerged under an artificial lake, brought about when the tribe was destroyed following a flash flood. 
The remnants of the Elironid Tribe still visible are mainly concentrated in the house of the Hyvamto-Re-Elironid, which is situated on a hill high above the water level. However, the brick paths are mostly still intact, and the darkened furrowed earth to the sides indicate the former places of the houses. The outer wall is also intact, although it has been overgrown with vines and weeds.

Purpose / Function

The Yitdish Ruins was originally meant to contain the Ibrovinid species and protect it from the outside world. However, once the families started leaving, the Ruins shifted to becoming a sanctuary for those still inside. It never opened up to those in the outside world, and those that left were under the whim of nature.

Architecture

Stone bricks were used to construct the majority of the buildings in the Ruins, although clay found on the shores of the Kairn River served to strengthen and connect the bricks together. For the outside walls, they were coated with a layer of gravel and clay and supported with heavy boulders.

Defenses

The main threat was the erratic weather of the planet, and so their defenses only consisted of an outer wall and a retractable door that sealed off the entrance to the Kairn River. It was this door that failed during the flood; the hinges were rusted, causing the detachment of the door and ultimately the doom of the Elironid Tribe.
