Ouroboros

**The Lost City of Ouroboros**, also known as the **Ancient City of Ouroboros** or simply **Ouroboros**, is a massive Serpentine city that was buried beneath the Sea of Sand after the Serpentine War. The Great Devourer was imprisoned underneath the city.

## History

The city was built many years ago and served as the place where the Serpentine studied the stars. After the Serpentine War, Ouroboros was abandoned and later buried in a large sandstorm and became the Lost City.

## Geography

The Lost City of Ouroboros is located in the Sea of Sand, while the nearest town, Ninjago City, located on the edge of the desert is not visible. The whole city is built on desert sandy land. Below the arena in the center of the city is a large stone cave where the Great Devourer was imprisoned.

## Appearance

Ouroboros as the only known Serpentine city is built around the Slither Pit arena in the center of the city, which is octagonal in shape. The arena consists of paved ground with the symbol of a twisted snake. Directly along this floor is a large stone cave in which the Great Devourer was imprisoned. On the edge of the arena is a large orange-yellow stone statue depicting the Great Devourer. Stairs lead to the back of the statue, which can be used to enter the Devourer's mouth. Along the sides of the statue are smaller statues depicting other snakes and directly next to the statue rise two large pillars. There are seven square buildings on the sides of the arena, including a prison. On their roofs there are grandstands from which Serpentine can watch the fight in the arena. Among these buildings are statues of cobras.

There is an empty sandy space a few foots around the arena and there are also eight trapezoidal orange-yellow buildings arranged in an octagonal shape. Behind each of these buildings there is another, slightly larger, and one behind them, which is, however, partially submerged in sand. Cylindrical turrets are built at the corners of each building. There are low railings on the roof of each building and they can be walked on as they are horizontal. In each of these buildings there are several apartments that used to be inhabited by Serpentine.

## Description

Ancient Serpentine city buried beneath the Sea of Sand following the Serpentine Wars, this site was also known as the Lost City of Ouroboros. It is the only known Serpentine city, and seems to be a mixture of different styles of architecture. In the center of the city is the infamous Slither Pit Arena. Legend had it that the Great Devourer slumbered beneath the city, and it is possible that the spirals and circles that appear so often in carvings in Ouroboros may refer to its presence.
