Ruined House

Ruined Houses are common structures generated at World creation in The Underworld. They are towers with multiple levels, constructed with missing parts for a "ruined" look, from Obsidian Brick or Hellstone Brick, along with corresponding background Walls, and Obsidian Platforms. Ruined Houses occur frequently, but only in the middle third of the Underworld laterally. They are often partially flooded with Lava and sometimes contain hellstone deposits just outside their walls.

Ruined Houses commonly contain several Pots, Hellforges, and Demon Torches. They also often contain locked Shadow Chests (nearly all Shadow Chests occur within or on top of Ruined Houses), and less often, Crystal Hearts.

The furniture found in ruined houses is not dislodged by contact with lava, unlike most other furniture.
