An arcology of bright polyps arches across the soldered trellis of old, and a rich diversity of life peoples it.
The Palladium Reef is a dangerous area in South-East Qud — an abandoned arcology flooded by the waters of Lake Hinnom, overgrown by coral and inhabited by strange lifeforms. Svardym are common, as in the lake, but are joined by greater threats such as 
galgallim and 
sultan crocs.
On the surface, a tangle of 
palladium struts obscure the vision but do not block weapons fire. These are overgrown by coral polyps which are automatically plucked away as the player walks by; this act has a small chance of revealing a 
swollen bulb of 
sunslag. 
coral chutes descend to the inner reef, which yields to ordinary subterranean caves after five levels.
