Talk:The Abyss/@comment-185.221.141.124-20180905131735

My theory about the event that occurs in every 2000 years, is that the Abyss grows deeper and devours the surface in a small (a few mile) radius around it. That must be the way its layers are formed. That explains why the praying skeletons are 2000 years older on each layer. Those ancient civilizations didn't live INSIDE the Abyss, they were cities on the surface, just like Orth. They likewise worshipped the Abyss, and Orth is about to suffer the same fate as they did, in less than 100 years now (since the Abyss was discovered  1900 years ago).

Also, don't forget there is an imprisoned pirate ship in the Great Fault (the 3rd layer), my theory explains how could it get in there.
