"People often say that they are products of their environment. What they neglect to mention, is that people tend to change the environment around them."
—The words of a naturalist, arguing with an industrialist.

About ninety percent of the [Mines of Malevolence] was objectively terrible.
Terrible sleeping conditions.
Terrible food quality.
Terrible sanitary conditions.
It was the kind of place dictators and ruthless capitalists would dream of whenever they needed somewhere to send upstarts, political rivals and the poor.
Especially since that remaining ten percent, the private abode of the mine's owner was the embodiment of the word, "luxury".
Carved out of the remains of an abandoned marble quarry, every single inch of wall was covered in a highly detailed mural depicting scenes of debauchery, violence, beauty and peace in equal manner.
