What is a ruin? We’re running off of “You know it when you see it” at the moment. Ruins should be non-functioning structures of some age, or their function reduced to tourism and the like. Generally speaking, specific items from a ruin should go to [email protected] Illustrations of ruins (or their reconstructions) should go to [email protected] Photos of ruins back when they were functioning should go to [email protected]

It's a specific style dating back to the era of slavery. A lot of old plantation-type houses in the South have the style, and it's... grotesquely romanticized in some corners as a more 'rustic' time.
Maybe they meant a more 'rusty' time, what with all the chains and manacles and whatnot.
That's cursed lol
Got it makes sense! Thanks, this made some other things I've heard click into place.
