Once trapped in linearity, Lualdi now lives its grim past, its torrential present, and its cataclysmic future all at once. Second by second, the region marches towards a seemingly inevitable apocalypse that is shrouded in enigma not for what it will do, but why. The answers to the mysteries surrounding the impending calamity may lie deeper in the reaches of time than any may expect -- and somewhere with them is the answer to if Lualdi can even be saved or if it should be abandoned to its fate. But whatever you do, do so quickly... The apocalypse will not wait for you to make up your mind.
Era Rut Castle was the home to the last monarch of Voletion, now modern-day Voluzione. Constructed out of orange sandstone, the castle walls appear to have gradients of deeper and lighter colors all throughout. Tattered purple and green banners bearing the heraldry of the Voletion Kingdom -- a Garchomp and a Tyranitar locked in battle -- hang upside-down as they have ever since the death of Voletion's last queen. The interior of the castle is mostly barren, looted long ago as the spoils of war or by desperate Voletion natives trying to protect the fallen queen's belongings from the conquering Lualdians. No one stops visitors from going inside the castle, but rarely do they ever find anything worth seeing other than the swirling designs of the sandstone walls.
