Lyric's Tomb

Lyric's Tomb is the first level in Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric. It is a dense forest area on an island, littered with ruins originating from the Ancients and the location of the tomb where Lyric the Last Ancient was imprisoned in for a millennia. It serves as the tutorial level for the game.

A thousand ago, Lyric the Last Ancient was imprisoned here and turned into a statue. In the present, Team Sonic came to Lyric's Tomb during a normal chase after Dr. Eggman, but got trapped inside the tomb. In their attempt to escape however, they accidently freed Lyric.

Overview
Lyric's Tomb is separated into two main areas: the outside of the tomb where Lyric was imprisoned within and the inside. The outside of the tomb is a large and very dense forest area in a slightly mountainous region, filled with lush, tropical and often colossal trees, some of which are as a tall as skyscrapers. The forest's bottom is a field of rocks and enormous roots, covered in green flora, vines, rock pillars and chasms, and has as a few rivers and waterfalls. Amongst the nature, there are some ancient ruins of stone foundations originating from the Ancients and a giant statue.

In the center of the jungle lies the very tomb of Lyric which is an old, cylinder-shaped building with large gates depicting Sonic and Tails, and a lock only Sonic can open.

The inside of Lyric's tomb is a dark, ancient and smelly stone structure (with a few metallic components) deeply scared by the hands of time, with grass growing out of the floor and thick vines coming out of the walls. It contains five rooms in total: one large room in the center where Lyric was contained and four surrounding it. In each of the surrounding rooms is a device shooting a light beam into a receptacle in Lyric's room that emits a light that kept Lyric petrified.
