The archaeological team found that the records at the surface level of the ruins ended there. In the last of those intermittent records, The Bishop alone took the miraculous stone that could create life deep into the ruins.
And the archaeological team unanimously made a decision.
They did not contact the headquarters of the merchants, to report their findings in the ruins.
If the meteorite was as magical as the legends described, why should they hand over this life-creating power to someone else?
Everyone, including the survivor, tried to pry open the stone door leading to the depths of the ruins that very night, knowing that great treasure lay hidden behind that door.
Unsurprisingly, everyone paid the price for their actions.
In the deepest part of the ruins, they witnessed The Bishop's end.
