    An interesting element of Allag compared to other dead civilizations is that they don't necessarily have a story they're chained to. Amaurot, Mhach, Nym, theoretically Amdapor if they ever get anything, they're all inextricably linked to a singular story, one event and its surroundings. Allag, surprisingly, isn't; it's more a setting than a story. That means I've got the capacity to be more excited about them than I am about any other dead civilizations they've overused (which is basically just Amaurot; all the rest I'm interested in).

    That still means there's places where it's not welcome. And that if we see another Allagan ruin it probably shouldn't be 'secret Crimes Against Nature research facility' again.

    Unfortunately Allag gets treated like that is its story – the whole thousand years of its history revolving around being an evil empire from start to finish.

    I wouldn't even mind that if we left War Crime R&D at some point and visited some other part of the evil empire.

    Let's visit the remains of a resistance cell! Slums that stood the ravages of time better than the nobility somehow! 'Museum of Stuff We Stole'!

    Would be nice to not always be hyper focused on Allagan research facilities story-wise, ye.

    That said, we do have a few pieces.
    The Boarderland Ruins map can be consctruded as a major Allagan city given things like manors and markets.
    The mechanical part of The Burn is a mining facility, filled with automated worker drones.
    And Azys Lla has pieces of landmass ripped from Meracydia, flora and fauna along with.

    There are a few scraps on how life was like back in the empire’s hay day through item texts and interactables in dungeons as well.
