@@lazerbeams2536 nah, the rain started recently. Lemm told that Hallownest citizens wrote information on stone, but then they switched to spider silk for some reason. Shortly after the infection spread, the rain began and the moisture destroyed the spider silk. So no info on the citizens during the infection. Plus it likely had a different name before City of Tears, because that's a stupid thing to name a capital of a kingdom.
