Ancient Basin

The ruins of an ancient city at the deepest part of Hallownest. It is nearly devoid of life, hosting only scavengers and strange lifeforms. This was the original location of the White Palace, home of The Pale King, and his consorts and guards.

The ruins of the White Palace can be found in the eastern portion of the Basin.
