Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rhun" data-source="post: 3127575" data-attributes="member: 29098">[sblock=Aeron]When it comes to the topic of the Cult of Elemental Evil, Aeron knows some…. while the Temple of Elemental Evil flourished, earthquakes, unnatural storms, great fires and flash floods would strike areas nearby with seeming capriciousness. All of that ceased once the Temple was assaulted and sealed. The original cult was dedicated to evil and chaos was established on the shores of the Nyr Dyv. The cult was based on the premise that the elemental forces of the universe are chaotic and opposed to mankind, and thus (from a humanocentric view) evil. The forces of the Temple worked to destroy all things good and to disrupt order. Many thieves, brigands and assassins worshipped the cult. Fire was regarded as the first elemental evil, its capriciousness and ability to destroy proof of its evil and chaos. Water was worshipped as an even more powerful force of chaos and evil, in the form of floods and raging seas. The epitome of chaos and evil, though, was the combination of earth and air, represented by blackness and corresponding with the demonic Abyss. This combination was regarded as the complete negation of matter.Aeron also recalls that the ruins of the Temple of Elemental Evil are hidden away in the hills near the village of Nulb, some ten league’s to the Northeast of Hommlet. Rumor has it that most of the upper works of the Temple were thrown down and destroyed in the final siege of the war. Because of the great evil and power of the Temple, though, the armies did not actually raze the Temple proper. Instead, the sealed the doors and placed mighty wards upon the place and the labyrinth beneath it. Even so great a force that overthrew the Temple, could not cleanly deal with the things that lurked below. The place is shunned now, and considered haunted. [/sblock]</blockquote>
