Ruins Clearing begins as a haunting, overgrown relic in The Will of the Many—a five-hundred-foot expanse of cracked, moss-coated stone and a lone domed building—serving as the first tangible reminder of a civilization long erased. Across the series it transforms from a silent backdrop into a nexus of memory, conflict, and revelation, its broken stones witnessing both the Hierarchy’s buried past and the characters’ personal reckonings. By later volumes the clearing becomes a contested ground where history is literally unearthed, its central dome shifting from a curiosity to a focal point of power struggles and buried truths.
