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 Obsidian Brick Walls. Ruined Houses occur frequently, but only in the middle third of the Underworld laterally. They are often partially flooded with Lava.

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