The Ronka Ruins, also known as Lonka Ruins, is a location in Final Fantasy V. The ancient ruins were built by the Ronka civilization who worshiped the Earth Crystal, the power-source of this flying city.
According to the "Chocobo's FF Laboratory" feature published in V Jump in 1993, the Ronka was built as a floating city because people believed the sun had the power to cure disease and wanted to live closer to it. The anti-gravity technology used to lift Ronka was the same as used in creating airships.
Story 
Edit
The party meets King Tycoon and Archeoaevis in the ruins.
Upon reaching the Catapult, the party witnesses the arrival of the Ronka Ruins. After modifying the airship to fly higher, they bypass the ruins' defense systems. Near the crystal room they find King Tycoon impaired by the Archeoaevis, and he orders the Warriors of Light to defeat it.
After the battle they follow the king to the crystal room, but the Earth Crystal is destroyed, and Exdeath breaks free from his seal. A fourth meteorite falls near where Gohn once stood, this time carrying Krile, Galuf's granddaughter. She releases King Tycoon from Exdeath's possession with a thunder attack, and the party escapes with her. Tycoon dies as he protects the party from the crystal shards.
The Awakening of Exdeath.
The party finds itself with four new jobsāSamurai, Dragoon, Dancer and Chemist. With the Earth Crystal no longer sustaining the airborne structure, the Ronka Ruins crash on the desert where Gohn used to be.
