13HRP – 0063 – LostCity Lulabang
Description
13HRP – 0063 – LostCity Lulabang is a submerged ruin discovered within the Mirror World, long associated with 13HRP – 0064 – The Lost Vas. The city’s layout defies normal architecture: streets curve into themselves, towers lean at impossible angles, and windows reflect landscapes that do not exist nearby. In addition, faint chanting echoes throughout, though no figures are ever seen. Moreover, explorers report a sense of weight pressing down on them as they move deeper, suggesting the city itself resists intrusion. Mentions of LostCity Lulabang often emphasize its role as a mirror-bound anchor of instability, constantly reshaping itself.
The core of the ruin holds structures carved with the same spiral motifs found on the Lost Vas. Consequently, this suggests a shared cultural or even biological origin. Furthermore, wall reliefs show humanoid forms with elongated jaws and egg-like symbols clutched to their chests—matching the forms of Crimson Egg carriers. Thus, the art ties LostCity Lulabang directly to other anomalies already catalogued.
Environmental Hazards
- Auditory Resonance: Whispers intensify the deeper explorers travel. Although the words remain unintelligible, several operatives reported hearing their own names. As a result, teams often rotate quickly to prevent mental collapse. Reports confirm that the source echoes from within LostCity Lulabang itself.
- Spatial Collapse: Stairways sometimes lead directly into water-filled caverns; furthermore, they loop back to earlier chambers without warning. Therefore, mapping the city proves nearly impossible. Each shift underlines how LostCity Lulabang disrupts reliable navigation.
- Biological Bloom: Pools of stagnant water contain parasitic growths that attach to skin. Over time, they begin to resemble miniature Vas, showing a direct biological hazard. Consequently, all contact requires full-body containment suits. Such contamination proves the city, or rather LostCity Lulabang, actively spreads its influence.
Historical Theories
Some researchers propose that LostCity Lulabang was the birthplace of the Lost Vas before their transition into biological entities. In support of this view, the Crimson Eggs found near its collapsed temple suggest the city acted as an incubation ground, where worshippers offered their bodies as vessels. Additionally, fragments of ritual bowls recovered from the site confirm the link between incubation and sacrifice.
On the other hand, others argue LostCity Lulabang is not a city at all, but a living organism. For example, its walls pulse faintly under infrared scans, and fragments of “stone” sampled from its outer ring contained strands of DNA-like material. Moreover, the growth of new passages during long observation periods supports the idea of a biological structure disguised as ruins. Consequently, researchers continue to debate whether LostCity Lulabang is a habitat, a body, or a hybrid of both.
Cross References
- 13HRP – 0064 – The Lost Vas: Structural carvings and DNA traces link directly to the entity, reinforcing the theory of shared origin with LostCity Lulabang.
- 13HRP – 0345 – Crimson Egg: Symbols and biological residues imply LostCity Lulabang was central to egg-ritual incubation, further connecting it to Crimson Egg practices. Additionally, the echoing chants resemble those documented during Crimson Egg events.
- 13HRP – 0024 – Maids Uniform: Fabric recovered near the ruins shows faint traces of the same parasitic growth patterns, thereby supporting biological contamination links. Moreover, the uniform’s stitching bears spiral symbols similar to those carved in LostCity Lulabang’s walls.
Council Note
“Do not treat LostCity Lulabang as dead stone. Instead, remember its silence is only a disguise. Each wall is a lung, each tunnel a throat. The Lost Vas did not abandon this city—it still breathes them.”
