Ancient City Portal Theory: The Warden’s Purpose
I have a theory about the Ancient City, the Sculk, and the Warden.
What if the Warden was not an accident, but was intentionally created to protect the Ancient City’s mysterious portal?
Long ago, an ancient civilization may have discovered another dimension and built the huge Reinforced Deepslate structure in the center of the city as a portal. They needed something powerful to guard it, so they created or summoned the Warden.
The Sculk could have been part of this security system. Sculk Sensors detect vibrations, Shriekers act as alarms, and the Warden responds to them.
Eventually, the civilization left the city. Before leaving, they sealed the portal so that nothing could follow them through it. They left the Warden behind to continue protecting it.
This could explain why the Warden still attacks anything that disturbs the Deep Dark after so much time.
Maybe the Ancient City wasn't simply a ruined city.
Maybe it was an ancient fortress built around a portal, and the Warden is still carrying out its final command:
Protect the portal.
