"No-one talks much about the cities that preceded London. The Third City seems to have been acquired a thousand years ago. It had five wells, they say. And the weather was better." "...The third taught us hunger..."
The Third City was Mayan, and dates back to roughly the 9th-10th century CE. The majority of the Tomb-Colonies are built upon Third City architecture and mythology.
There are a handful of living survivors of the fall of the Third City: the First Curator and the God-Eaters, for example. To sink this city, the Masters offered the flesh of a god to the three leaders of this city, turning them into the monstrosities they are now. As for the god, let's just say it is very, very perturbed.
Historical Inspirations[edit]
The Third City may have been Chichen Itza, Tikal, or Calakmul; this last city is located next to the modern settlement of Hopelchén, whose name means "place of five wells" in Yucatec Maya. Other than this, little is known, and there is essentially no proof for or against any specific Mayan city.
