Ruins of Amdapor

[WellGramarye]

So today I was logging in South Shroud near Camp Tranquil and I happened to see something bright, shiny, and green green glowing in the distance. I hadn't noticed it before so I rushed off to investigate! Lo' and behold it turned out to be the entrance to the lost Ruins of Amdapor, which is slated to be added in the next big version update 2.2 Interestingly the entrance seems to be the remains of a huge tree.









So what do we know about this place? Well from the previews we've seen the place has been overrun with some sort of "pollen" and "fungal" infection leaving the township desolate and abandoned. We also know ecologically there are "Wamoura" like monsters and possibly their lesser/larval "Wamouracampa" forms as well. Yet, what do we know about the civilization? Has their been any hints insofar as what befell this place and why it was sealed up? I'm sure the new quest lines shall tackle this but what do we know now if anything? The Revenants that haunt the entrance do seem lonely....

My bet the greenwrath happened to em. Maybe we'll even find out it's origins(elementals aside)

The Wamoura readies exuviation, recovers 9 billion HP.

Better spam those Disease and Storm abilities to bring healing down 100%... oh wait

I'll try to snip some picture of the dungeon from the Live Letter to add to the OP in the morning :>

Its been there since released ( 2.0 ) but nothing telling about them'

Well, we gonna know it in 2.2 anyway

I presume it has something to do with Amdapor Keep - the description for that in the Duty Finder says the Amdapori civilization existed for a brief time only to be destroyed when they started using forbidden magic.

After the Amdapori society's collapse, the elementals hid the Amdapori ruins (specifically, Amdapor Keep) under glamour. AK was only revealed following the Calamity because the Lambs of Dalamud cult somehow managed to dispell the elementals' camouflage on the place, who then occupied the ruins. I presume the Ruins of Amdapor has a similar story.

It may not come into play in the new dungeon at all, but we do know from the SCH relic quest that the Amdapori existed at the same time as and were at war with the Nymian civilization.

We do know a fair amount about Amdapor but its scattered through various sources. If I'm remembering correctly they were also the developers of White Magic, and were one of the main players in the magic induced sixth umbral era (along with Nym, the civilization where schs originate). Afterwards the elementals became the exculsive keepers of White Magic which they teach to the Padjal. The Padjal were the only whms until the adventurer comes along.

I am curious about what the boss of the Amdapor township will be.
I think it was said in the live letter that it is connected to a evil in Amdapor's past

Maybe a Tonberry....Seriously what if the Tonberry plague was an Ampador spell.
