“There were myriads of good reasons for shunning the nameless city, one for each strange tale passed from generation to generation. Tales averted people from entering the city, even from getting closer to its walls, and legends say that it was older than the eldest of the pyramids; few say it was older than humanity itself. But there was no legend so old as to give it a name.”(Storyline via IGDB)
