History
Built over 12800 years ago, Kahve Ruins was designed to mass produce gummy-making robots for the Espressos. They were lead by Dr. Calzone, who was inspired by the yogart gurus' ability to send their souls into the sun, where the light planet Nova was said to exist. However, their experimentation started a brutal war, in which the brownies and robots revolted against the Espressos. Those who could not flee the planet were turned into gummies in Kahve Ruins, their lives being repurposed as energy for the robots' battery cores. One of these victims was a girl named Applepie, whose gummified remains were stored in a vault at the top of the ruins.
Magical Starsign
When the protagonist and Lassi crash landed on Erd several thousands of years later, they traveled north to Kahve Ruins. Swarmed by rogue robots, they soon arrived at the top level where the magical rocket Neumann was housed. Unfortunately, Robot D12S knocked both students out and locked them inside Gumbo Gaol before they could hijack it. The protagonist and Lassi eventually returned to the ruins after giving it energy at the Land Where the Stars Sleep, using their improved abilities to clear through the robots, board Neumann, and take off for Cassia.
Once the party reunited and began their hunt for the millennium gummies, they explored Erd once more in search of the earth millennium gummy. Mokka spontaneously broke down in Rio Villa, to which a robot suggested the party recharge him in Kahve Ruins. They obliged and brought him to the ruins' basement level, discovering a room with basins and gummified Espresso people. Rogan Josh then arrived, explaining to the party the Espressos' history, ambitions, and untimely fate. After recharging Mokka, the party could take an elevator to Applepie's vault, and obtain her access card upon putting her to rest.
While the party ventured across Shadra in search of Chromagar Cave, dwarves from Condimen Tower utilized the computers in Kahve Ruins in order to help their allies from afar. The protagonist would later team up with the dwarves on Erd after the final battle against Shadra, helping them renovate Kahve Ruins into a gigantic radio telescope.
Trivia
- The map of subbasement level changes between versions. In Japan, the gummy basins are highlighted turquoise, whereas overseas, they are gray.
