=== Historical Culture ===
The culture, ways of life and events of the old society are a widely unknown mystery. Through historical artifacts and inferences historians and intellectuals have been able to piece together much of the basic life and hierarchy. This history is divided into two "generations", each further containing separate lifestyles, hierarchy and cultures. The generations are not actual generations but different periods of time.
==== The First Generation ====
The first generation is most commonly noted for its rigged hierarchy, strong religious beliefs and sacrifices/fights to the death. Most to all of the information on the first generation is found in the few remaining rooms and mind shafts lying beneath Redwood. Theses rooms were bear boned to the core, holding the larger yet still small room made to fit upwards to 20 people, then a guard room room.

===== Fights and Sacrifices =====
[[File:Cave painting.png|thumb|A picture of one of the giant fights found in one of the second generation rooms (''Drawn by CVHRedstone'')]]Due to the magical properties which some religious figures learned to tap into a cult like presence around the location was developed on the surface. Disputes between Kings that were settled by combat, would happen on the fields deciding the fate of politics, family's and the delict balance of religious superiority. Besides single combat there is also mortal vs giant fights, dragged in chains from [[mount Xeno]] and central [[Arith]]. Fights against giants always led to the mortal dying, never in the known history was a giant beaten. Giant vs Giant fights also happened, ending with the victor giant being released. For mortal giant's a poison called Giant's Fall was used to kill any troublesome Giant's or the winners should the crowds not be happy with the fight. Wars or large scale sacrifices would often lead to overload in the caves output which could result changes in plant life, mining and terrain above and below ground. All of this is known due to the paintings of giant fights that have been found in the different rooms.
