The Gold That Devoured a City of Luxidoor <:luxidoor:389967516954525697>

The Luxidoors were renowned for their insatiable hunger for gold. For them, gold wasn’t just a metal—it was a symbol of power, prestige, and prosperity. In their relentless pursuit of wealth, they dug countless underground mines that spread like a vast web across their lands, including beneath their magnificent capital. As the years passed, their gold reserves grew so vast that the Luxidoors began to cover everything around them with the gleaming metal—houses, palaces, temples. The city shone like a beacon of opulence, with not a single building left untouched by its golden glow. The Luxidoors basked in luxury, never stopping to consider the true cost of their greed.

But they forgot about the danger lurking beneath their feet. The mines they had so recklessly excavated had weakened the very foundation of their city. As the gold filled every corner of their capital, the sheer weight became unbearable for the fragile earth below. One fateful day, the ground gave way, and the city plunged with a thunderous roar into the yawning chasm formed by the empty caverns below. Golden monuments toppled, and the grand buildings were swallowed by cracks that split the earth. Thus, the Luxidoors lost not only their treasures but also the pride they once cherished, consumed by their own obsession with luxury.
