V1 Level 111

Level 111
Level 111, also known as The Pativisopolis, is a large isolationist facility dedicated to the exploration of nearly all forms of science, art, and mysticism. Originally founded by a figure known as the Patterned Seer as a home for her formerly nomadic group of followers, the level has grown to be extremely expansive; with many spiritual and research groups dedicating themselves to the pursuit of knowledge. Most of which is kept in a massive library known as The Librarium. The level consists of a series of interconnected wards and rooms which all form a nearly maze-like interior. The level can be easily navigated by the sophisticated, high-speed tramways placed throughout the facility.

Isolationism
As previously stated, level 111 is isolationist. They do not interact with many of the outside factions which inhabit the bunker, preferring instead to live their lives dedicated to their passions. In order to avoid political conflicts which could cause the formation of factions and lead to the destabilization of the level, contact with outside levels is nearly completely cut off. The rise of certain political extremist groups has only strengthened this policy, so much so that there is only one active way to enter and exit the level. However, there are certain relationships that break this tradition such as diplomacy and trade with their neighbor, level 110.

History
Level 111 was a former weapons manufacturing facility that was destroyed in a conflict which resulted in the activation of an explosive which caused the bulk of the facility to cave in on itself. The level was later discovered by a nomadic group of spiritualists known as the Followers of the Patterns, lead by an enigmatic figure known as the Patterned Seer. After the discovery of Eidolon Quartz in the area and negotiations with the Corpse Cult of level 110 the Seer and her followers settled down and began renovating the facility. Slowly refugees from numerous conflicts came to live in the facility, and while not all of them followed the teachings of the Followers of the Patterns a tightly knit community began to form. Eventually the level was unrecognizable to its beginnings. The flow of new immigrants also included a few extremist groups which wished to find new followers within the level.

The Exodus
The Patterned Seer recognized this as a threat to the safety of the inhabitants of the Pativisopolis and in turn began a mass deportation of residents. If one was to stay they were to show their loyalty and utility to the level. Extremists were exiled and a massive labyrinth was built at the main entrance of the facility. The Patterned Seer initiated a tradition which would have individuals looking to find residence within Level 111 to go through this labyrinth in a trial to test the mental and physical capabilities of the individual. This led to a population which consisted of mostly well educated or physically capable residents. This influx of intellectuals lead to a massive overhaul in the society of the Pativisopolis. Now instead of a community of spiritually minded refugees, the level was mostly inhabited by scientists, authors, architects and the like.

The Renovation
Up to this point Level 111 was relatively small. However with the revitalization of the population after The Exodus as well as the needs of the many scientists and mystics which inhabited the level, a change was needed. A large scale renovation and expansion of the level was initiated. The construction of many new facilities began, as well as the expansion of the original labyrinth into something even more gargantuan. Classrooms and training facilities were built for the growing juvenile population as well as labs and testing grounds for various scientists and inventors. Temples and spiritual grounds were built around the larger pockets of eidolon quartz scattered sparsely around the level and eventually the construction of a grand atrium known as the Arboretum. The crowning achievement of this renovation next to the massive expansion of the labyrinth was known as the Librarium. Once a humble collection of religious texts and history books it had grown to become one of the largest facilities within the level. All but mythical in its proportion a collection of it's size was unseen in the bunker.
