Great work, I can hear the story outline you've described clearly in the music. I really like the ambient sounds (maybe synths?) at the start and at some later points, definitely makes me picture forgotten ruins!

Description
A singular instrumental track made with Ableton based on the very first impression I got by reading the theme. It attempts to "narrate" a story.
Message from the artist
It has a complete opposite feeling to the picture theme as it is a rather dark piece in general.
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
Starting with a ruins-vibe grim opening, the track tells a story as it immerses through multiple stages of the world - Pioneering, Prosperity, Demise. Between each stage, the music abruptly brings back to the ruins to reinforce the idea that the world is long past the phase, with added instruments to mimick the subject finding clues/artifact that remind and signal the next phase.
