The twelfth-floor Ascendency battleground — a former city burrowed into cotton fields and fortified, patrolled by a giant dwarven automaton.
Larracos is the setting of the coming Ascendency battles on the twelfth floor, glimpsed on the mandatory feeds as Carl and the surviving crawlers cross over. Once a city, it has been burrowed down into vast cotton fields surrounding the Halls of the Ascendency and covered with new defenses, its exterior patrolled by a massive dwarven automaton. This is where the god-throne endgame will be fought — deities, crawlers, Residuals, and the vengeful Outside Intelligences contending until one wins and the dungeon collapses twelve hours later.
It is the ground Carl intends to hold, stalling the Ascendency so every remaining crawler can reach the eighteenth-floor exit. The strange pastoral of cotton fields over a buried fortress-city sets the stage for the series' climactic war.
