Death in the ruined courts of the Citadel.
The Ivory Citadel is a dungeon area in Lostlight. The citadel is covered in corruption and many of the puzzles include restoring the city, as well as making the water canals flow again to clear a number of paths through the corruption. It is said that Jamaerah, the citadel's scribe and librarian, still roams the halls.

The Ivory citadel was originally the stronghold of the realm Lostlight. However, the realm was lost after Archon Lucien had gone mad from learning that Abaddon had become the Destroyer. Archon Lucien went to the city, spreading Corruption and killing many angels while proclaiming his own purity.
The Citadel is only accessible after Death gathered the pieces of the Rod of Arafel on Earth. When the Horseman returned with the staff, Archon Lucien cleared the path to the Citadel and gave him an Angelic Beast to carry him there.
