Threewells’ Empty Homes Material Traces Cradles, libraries, blacksmith tools, pantries, and furniture remain after the inhabitants vanish. Broccoli reads the arrangement of objects as evidence of ordinary lives interrupted. History without Bodies The absence of corpses makes the town more mysterious. Its emptiness becomes a form of testimony, showing that disappearance can be documented through rooms as much as through written records.
The Well Inn GoodThe Well Inn Good from "Cinnamon Bun". The Well Inn Good A Place of Hospitality The ruined inn offers rooms, a bar, kitchens, cellars, and the ghost of a former guest.
The Well Inn Good A Place of Hospitality The ruined inn offers rooms, a bar, kitchens, cellars, and the ghost of a former guest. Broccoli imagines the adventurers who once gathered there. Hospitality after Death Cleaning the inn restores a sense of welcome without restoring its population. The place becomes a bridge between the town’s vanished past and Broccoli’s future as an explorer.

Dunwich’s Broken Site Ruins of a Dungeon Dunwich contains bunkhouses, offices, a clinic, a tower, and an entrance scorched by the destruction of the Dunwich Dungeon. The site appears abandoned but not safe. Corruption after Collapse The negative mana and abominations show that destroying a dungeon does not necessarily heal a region. Ruins can remain active, hostile, and ecologically distorted long after their core is gone.
Fort Frogger’s OccupantFort Frogger’s Occupant from "Cinnamon Bun". Fort Frogger’s Occupant A Military Ruin Fort Frogger was built for a war that never arrived and later occupied by Gunther.
Fort Frogger’s Occupant A Military Ruin Fort Frogger was built for a war that never arrived and later occupied by Gunther. Its military architecture has been repurposed as a domestic space. History Reclaimed Gunther’s residence complicates the meaning of abandoned forts. A structure designed for conflict can become a home, a gallery, a kennel, and a site of hospitality.
Future RuinsFuture Ruins from "Cinnamon Bun". Future Ruins Mapping What Does Not Yet Exist Midhve’s compendium describes dungeons as changing historical sites rather than fixed attractions.
Future Ruins Mapping What Does Not Yet Exist Midhve’s compendium describes dungeons as changing historical sites rather than fixed attractions. Their rooms, traps, monsters, and rewards evolve over time. The Explorer’s Responsibility Broccoli’s future work will involve recording places that may change after she leaves. Exploration therefore preserves knowledge temporarily, knowing that every map is already becoming outdated.
