Everyone on the Ashland believes that deep within a certain ruin, buried in danger and famine, lies the path to a new world. If one can find a unique key to open that door, they can enter the new world. There, the land is fertile, like a land flowing with milk and honey, and the sunlight is brilliant, seemingly able to wash away the cold and gloom. People no longer have to face desolation, monsters, infection, mutation, and various dangers. There, children are happy, adults are content, and everything is beautiful. Every antiquarian, ruin hunter, and historian on the Ashland knows that this is the new world.
