Ambrosia (U9)

The underwater city of Ambrosia is where the Gargoyles retreated to in Ultima IX, a city on the ground of the ocean, protected by a huge dome.

After the Great Cataclysm, the Gargoyles of Britannia isolated themselves from the human population and decided in their growing pride to build a city at the ground of the ocean, where no human would reach them, and name it after the lost island of Ambrosia which had sunk during the Cataclysm. This did not go without conflict, and they in the end exiled their own king, Vasagralem, which in turn created a schism in Gargoyle society, now that a uniting government was gone.

The great inventor Wislem was credited with this "unbreakable" dome. However, his pride would be the Gargoyles' doom, as during the Avatar's visit to the city, the dome did start to collapse, killing all the inhabitants in the end.

Trivia

 * While some have felt that instead of falling to Pride, which is a human anti-virtue, the Gargoyles should have fallen to an opposite of the Gargoyle Virtues, it would not have made sense since the Columns are created upon the corrupted Runes of Virtues.
