Crystal Ruins

Crystal ruins is currently the dungeon after Winden Forest. Crystal Ruins and Crystal Castle were the first dungeons to be added to Winden after its release. It was once the hardest non-event or non-set-level dungeon in PMU (Later beat by Mt. Barricade).

Announced only a while before the release of Tanren, Yatterman had mentioned that Crystal Ruins and Castle would be removed from Winden Forest, and be added to the overworld of Winden as it's own dungeon. However, this was pushed back for some time due to personal issues outside of the game. Yatterman has vowed to move the two dungeons before the end of December 2012

Story
Note: Some of this backstoy is speculation of what happend to the previous resedents of the region known today as Winden. It may be better explained in the future, perhaps even in game. Although there is no mention of the backstory to Crystal Ruins and Castle found in the game, there is some information that had been shared by Yatterman.

There was a time long ago when Winden shared a simular resemblance to the other regions found in PMU. During this era, a vast empire was housed in the region, having full control and ownership over the land. There isn't much information regarding this empire and the kingdom excluding the fact that they were quite hostile people towards outsiders, and did not take kind to the weak or helpless.

Their hostility lead to their the empires downfall when the kingdom refused to aid a helpless group of unknwon entities. The queen of the empire did see potential power in the entities that could aid her own kingdom in their hard times. She ordered that her gaurds arrest and interrogate these unknown beings...

These entities had enough of the hostility from the queen and her kingdom. All of the beings casted their own personal curse on the land, people, and the kingdom itself to reveal them for what they truly are; Cold, Heartless, and forsaken... With their curses now engraved on the land and people of Winden, the entities dissapeared... As if they were never even there.

Out of fear, the queen made a choice of of desperation to seal her kingdom from the outside world, thinking it would stop the curse... However, as time went on, the climate began to drasticaly change, and even the people of the empire felt as if their life and soul were slipping away...

This event lead to what is seen today as Winden, the remaining reminants of the empire barely even stand to this day, and those who were once inhabitants of the vast kingdom are now only lost souls, cursed to their land for eternity. Some mask the fact that they are no longer even part of the living, still thinking that their kingdom is very much alive. However, there are very few who have embracced the harshness of the endless cold, knowing exactly what they have become, and miniacly loving every moment of it...


 * Mamoswine

The pokemon that currently resides in the main halls of the ruined castle known as Mamoswine was once the captain of the Castle Guard. Once a loyal bodyguard to the queen, he is now cursed to protect the castle for the rest of his doomed existance. Like many of the pokemon that were cursed, Mamoswine is still convinced that he is very much alive, and that the empire had never fallen. Yet in reality, he doesn't even truly exist... Mamoswine stood guard in the halls for so long, that he is no longer even living. What holds his spirit together is unknown... It is a possability that the captain of the guard could have been a different pokemon before the curse, and that the curse reformed his body into a ruthless, coldhearted watchdog...


 * Froslass (The boss of Crystal Castle)

Froslass is the queen of Crystal Castle. Before the curse shattered her mask and showed everyone for what she truly was, she ruled over the empire that controled the region currently known as Winden. She is one of the very few affected that still retains memories of the curse, and even has come to terms with her fate, to the point where she actually enjoys it! She still commands all of the lost souls in the castle. (Excluding one pokemon...)

Before the curse, she once had Royal Guards that were loyal to her in every way, and they protected her... However, once she reformed, Froslass appointed all of the Ghost pokemon of Crystal Castle as her true guardians. (The Ghosts of Crystal Castle are the only pokemon that remember and embrace the curse for their own personal gain)
