Level 259

Level 259 is the 260th level of the Backrooms. 
==Description==
Level 259 resembles a seemingly endless luxurious royal palace. When one enters the level, they will find themselves in a prolonged, ornate grand hallway with a high ceiling and golden design, and wanderers might feel a slight sensation of discomfort.
The hallway features hanging keen chandeliers on the ceiling, with some distance between each and illuminating dim yellowish light. The hallway is furnished with rich-looking benches, arranged in various positions throughout the area. All the furniture along the palace shares the indestructibility feature; not even minor damage can be dealt to any of it. 
Several pairs of windows can be seen on the walls; they feature a golden frame and are adorned with intricate carvings and decorations, with bright sunlight illuminating through them into the hallway, which is not thermal. Sometimes the location of windows in level might not make sense; they might appear on the ceiling or floor, walls, or corners, and their placement height can vary. The windows on level 259 are proven to be mostly indestructible; behind them is only light, and the outside cannot be seen, if it is even present. The level itself features no day-night cycle, so the light illuminating through the windows makes wanderers think it is always day. 
The temperature on level 259 is a perfect room temperature, being a comfortable 22°C, making it more cozy than the rest of the levels. 
The number of floors in the palace is considered to be endless; although nobody truly knows, each floor varies in size, furniture, decorations, and supplies present on it. Most of the time, the floors of the palace utilize luxurious venues, such as picture galleries, apartments, libraries, dining rooms, and rarely chapels. 
It has been confirmed that level 259 does not degrade upon going deeper into it, which is a massive plus; however, that raises plenty of questions and concerns that are yet to be answered. There is enough evidence to suggest that level 259 could possibly collapse over time; that is how it got its name.
==Areas==
===Royal Apartments===
This area resembles a vast ornate corridor, with a golden 
design and a high ceiling. One significant-size chandelier
is hanging from the ceiling and illuminates a dim yellowish
light into the corridor. Some rich-looking furnishing
can be seen, like puffer seats and benches, which
are pretty comfy. Due to the properties of the level, it 
is not possible to move or damage any of them. On each side
of the hallway, there are from five to ten huge white
double doors; usually, all of them are widely open, 
but on rare occasions, some might appear closed, each of
them leading into apartments.
The rooms themselves are complete replicas of each other, appearing to have the same luxurious style, size, atmosphere and amount of furniture, such as a queen size bed in the middle of the apartment that has a modern and fashion touch to it, a vast window on the left wall of the room, a small chandelier hanging from the ceiling and emitting slight glow, a black piano that seems to be in a perfect condition, a bright red carpet on the floor which is soft and comfortable to the touch, a empty closet to the right side of the room and a few paintings on the walls that usually vary and are created by unknown authors, the paintings can show anything, from absolutely empty canvas to picture of universe, nature, humans, entities, rooms, etc.
Upon entering any apartment, one will feel a strong sense of comfort and desire to stay inside for longer, as if they are in the right place, as if they are home. 
===Grand Gallery===
This area has the appearance of a few spacious rooms; the floor
is made out of pine wood, the walls are covered in crimson wallpaper,
the ceiling is pretty high, and a few chandeliers are hanging on top.
The whole gallery is covered in various artwork, from paintings to 
intriguing objects that reside on colorful marble podiums,
ranging from small to larger sizes, all created by unknown authors. 
However, there have been reports of wanderers discovering familiar
paintings and sculptures that are taken directly from frontrooms;
some of the artwork might appear slightly distorted in some way.
Each artwork in the gallery is labeled; however, the language it is written in is currently unknown. The artwork varies from very old to ones that are yet to be created, which is an amazing property. All the artwork seems to be indestructible and cannot be moved from its place, even though it is not attached to anything. 
These rooms usually provoke a feeling of inspiration in wanderers intentionally.
===Library===
Resembles a large library, just like from Frontrooms, this is a place where most of the universe knowledge is located.
With a total area of a few thousand square meters,
the ceiling of the library is also high. The area is mostly
dark and only lighted by small old-fashioned lamps that are 
found across the place, the floor, ceiling, walls, and everything else is made out of oak wood. 
Some furnishings can be found across the library, most of them 
being old ladders, which are one of the few things that can be 
moved in level 259 and used to reach the higher bookshelves with 
their contents. There are also some dusty old chairs spread widely across the library and some wooden benches.
Bookshelves can go all the way to the ceiling; the contents of the books are different and written in various languages. It was confirmed that there are books about all types and genres of literature and even other Levels and Entities descriptions; however, that is a very rare occurrence. The books can be taken, yet they also share the indestructibility feature; they are one of the few objects that can be moved and even taken away from their usual places. If a book is taken from its place, after around 12 hours, a new book will appear in its place, having different contents. Some books might appear distorted or even torn; some look old, and some look like they were written just a few moments ago.
Wanderers managed to find a book labeled "Level 259." , there were 495 pages in the book, with only one word "Collapsed" written on each page. The meaning of this book is currently unknown, however, many state that it is no longer worth it to stay on this level.
===Dining room===
This area resembles a prolonged ornate corridor with an oval-shaped table in the middle of it, the ceiling is pretty high and has a plenty of chandeliers hanging from it, each one of them can vary in size, their amount also varies. Across the hallway a few pillars with golden design can be seen, near them would be podiums on which luxurious vases are placed. The table is covered with an exquisite white 
tablecloth, on it can be seen luxurious kitchen utensils and old fashion plates, which cannot be moved, on the table might appear small vases with various flower types, some chandeliers are on the table, usually lit and emitting a dim yellowish glow. Around the table can be from 22-100 old chairs to have a seat on. 
Supplies often spawn in the dining room, such as almond water and moth jelly.
*UPDATED LOG 12/10/2023: Supplies now appear less often, moth jelly cannot be found anymore, and it has become slightly darker.
==Events==
Level 259 features an odd event: the level collapses itself overtime, making itself more and more dangerous every day that passes here. This first began around 6 months after the first discovery of the palace. The collapse features plenty of things occurring in the level, like walls or ceilings having slight cracks, entities becoming less docile, furniture distorting itself, and dust periodically falling from the ceiling or walls. This event is thought to become worse and worse over time, until the level collapses completely, becoming more dangerous in the process, until it will dissapear completely. There have been no ways to prevent the collapsing of level 259.
==Entities== 
3 Entities lurk in Level 259.
====Living statues====
Statues in Level 259 are considered entities for being sentient, they can take on the appearance of any animal or any human, not a single part of their body moves except for their eyes, they will track any moving object or human in sight. Statues are confirmed to be harmless.
====Aristocrat facelings====
They have the appearance of normal facelings, except they are dressed in aristocratic-style clothing. These facelings are absolutely harmless and present no aggression, even if they get hit. These entities just wander around the level, if one asks such an entity nicely, they can lead the wanderer to any location in Level 259. 
====Shadows====
Appear as humanoid-type beings, usually seen in dark places of the palace, once a shadow is seen, it will immediately drift away. It has been confirmed that shadows mean no harm to wanderers, except for slight discomfort or fear. 
*UPDATE LOG 12/10/2023: The entities in Level 259 aren't as harmless anymore as they were before. It is highly recommended to avoid any contact from now on.
*UPDATE LOG 13/2/2024 : They seem to be some form of Anethika according to M.E.G but is yet to be confirmed.

==Entrances and Exits==
===Entrances=== 
Entering a building that resembles a palace on Level 11 has a chance to lead one here.
Entering a room labeled "259" on Level 399 in the Rosatin Hotel might lead here.
Noclipping through any luxurious kitchen utensils will lead one here.
Noclipping through a window on Level -40 will lead one here with an extremely low chance.
 
===Exits===
Only two exits have been found.
No clipping through a window on floor 1000 will lead to level -1000. [Highly urecommended]
After wandering too deep into Level 259 (around 2000+ floors), it will suddenly become dark, and the wanderer will find themselves in Level 767's palace. 
*UPDATE LOG 12/11/2023: It is unfortunate, but even after wandering over 2000+ floors into the level, some wanderers could not leave level 259. Other exits after that point are currently being researched, results are not promised. There are currently two small groups of people that have a decent amount of supplies and keep on going up. God bless.
==Note from an unknown wanderer.==
Another day living on this level, nothing so special as always; people are happy that they are safe. They trade and communicate. It feels like heaven, doesn't it? Well, it could've been one if it weren't for one thing. You know the furniture, walls, ceiling, and floor are indestructible; we realized they are not anymore. Yesterday, we decided to go to floor 17 to bring some almond water. As we went on, we noticed tiny cracks on the walls. Sam decided to touch these cracks, and after that, some concrete dust fell on the floor. We don't know what's going on, and of course, when we got back, no one believed us. 
What if the rumors about the level collapsing are true? No, it just can't be true, it makes no sense, right? Others would rather stay here and look forward to what happens next, nobody wants to leave one of the safest levels just because of the rumors, except for me. This level is a death trap, and I'm sure it just waits for more wanderers to get here. If anybody sees this note, please follow my path and leave before it's too late.
==M.E.G tape==
Level 259 has interesting properties, it was a "Habitable" class for quite some time, but now its classification has been changed to "Variable." This was due to the huge number of reports that the level is starting to collapse and entities becoming more aggressive; we have found enough evidence of this ourselves. At the moment, there are still about 500 people living on the level; almost none of them know what's going on. According to our data, the level will eventually collapse even more, becoming more dangerous in the process, until it finally will not be, and in its place will appear a new-generated level. We will leave one of our research groups here to keep in touch with the events happening at the level, if we are right, everyone still on the level will have to leave it immediately. 
==Living statue report==
Today, me and my friends were just wandering around Level 259, until we stumbled upon a room that has a giant human statue in the middle of it. It had large cracks around its structure, especially the head. We just decided to go past it to continue exploring, but then we heard a loud crack coming from the statue's side. We looked back at it, and its head was staring at us. 
Without thinking, we started running back to the lower floors. This is not a joke, what if all the statues do the same and start moving? Maybe it's just our sanity dropping, but from what? The level is supposed to be habitable, right?
==John Stewart's diary's torn page==
If [Text missing] is true, we will organize a trip up to higher floors to exit the level. I'll make sure as many people from the colony leave as possible [Text missing].. sincerely [Text missing].. hard it is, even if Frank won't agree, people's lives matter. [Text missing] It was a nice time to stay here. [The rest of the page is missing]
==Note from wanderers found on floor 3200==
God. Once again, understand why people created elevators. There are 5 of us left, going higher and higher. Every day we have to go at least 100 floors up, it drains our energy and makes us slowly go insane. At least almond water is still there to help us. We're not sure if anything in the level changes as we go deeper, except for one thing: these shadow figures started appearing more often. It's weird. People here can only make guesses as to when we can leave this hell. Like, what? 5000?... 10000?... We'll see.
