| Description | Eleven years ago, Eridu experienced an unprecedented Hollow disaster. The activity of Hollow Zero grew exponentially in a short time, and its size expanded rapidly, swallowing vast areas of Eridu’s most prosperous districts – the Pluto Quarter and Minerva Quarter. After the disaster, Eridu authorities poured massive resources into disaster relief and tried desperately to contain Hollow Zero’s expansion, but their efforts proved largely futile, with the Defense Force suffering particularly devastating casualties. Left with no choice, Eridu’s leadership at the time decided to detonate 14 Shiyu Towers along the city’s southwest to northeast axis. The explosion created a massive chasm that cut through the city, but it successfully reduced the amount of matter available for Hollow Zero to corrupt and convert, effectively curbing its activity. However, by the time Hollow Zero’s size and activity returned to normal levels, Eridu had been reduced to ruins, with countless people displaced… Later, when the survivors wiped away their tears atop the ruins and the city was renamed New Eridu, this catastrophic disaster was officially dubbed the fall of the Old Capital. |
