Shaded Citadel

Once a place of worship, the Shaded Citadel now rests in the shadow of the Five Pebbles supercomplex. Dark and filled with fiendish spiders and other threats, without a light source the slugcat will probably not survive.

To the upper left of the Citadel lies the Industrial Complex, to the upper right lies Shoreline and to the lower right lies The Exterior's subregion the Leg.

The Citadel has one subregion, the Scissorbird-infested Memory Crypts, and in order to get to the Exterior through the Citadel the slugcat will need to traverse them. This region is mainly composed of moderately sized clearings separated by cramped tunnels that act as hiding spaces from the Scissorbirds, and is relatively easy if the player is quick enough to get to each hiding spot.

Being a dark place, it is extremely hard to navigate unless the player has a light source. Thankfully, there are a few different sources available to the player;

-Lanterns: Cocoon-like bulbs that emit a soft orange glow carried by Scavengers and can be traded for other items like spears (a scavenger holding a lantern can be seen in the top left corner of the picture above).

-Neuron Flies: Glowing firefly-esque insects that can be found at the end of the Looks to the Moon supercomplex in Shoreline and throughout the Five Pebbles supercomplex that when eaten will provide the slugcat with a bright glow that will last for the duration of the game. The slugcat present in both of these pictures has eaten a neuron fly.

-Lantern Mice: Adorable luminescent rodents found only in the Citadel that hang from ceilings that produce pink, pale yellow, sky blue, or pastel red light (seen in both of the attached pictures). Live mice can be held and carried around by the player, but they will struggle and will slow the player down due to their weight. Slain mice can also be carried without the squirming, but will still slow the player down and their light will fade over the course of a few cycles. -Flashbang Fruit: Blue-purple Orbs found growing on stalks across the Citadel (Far Left). They provide a relatively small amount of light compared to other sources, but when thrown with create a wild (and sometimes painful) burst of light that will stun creatures like Scissorbirds and kill creatures like Spiderpedes and Wolfspiders as well as illuminate terrain for a short while.
