In my readings about it, I am confused because there seems to be a big elemental theme to it, as in elementals (the monsters) and princes of elemental evil called archomentals, but also more of "a place where evildoers of all kinds were gathering". As I see it, it has importance to the Greyhawk setting because it was like that. The good nations nearby had fought against the forces of evil there before, at the famous Battle of Emridy Meadows. If a new temple of elemental evil rises, would it be a stronghold of elementals and spell-casters focused on elemental magic, or was the point that it was "elemental" evil in the sense of being pure and at the foundation of all evildoers' designs? A gathering place for all bent on destruction to come and train and unite.I would think that would appeal to Iuz, and his father, Graz'zt. Graz'zt dreams of uniting all the evil fiends of the Lower Planes in an assault on the Upper Planes, so maybe he or his son was thinking of something like that only for the Flanaess when they erected the temple. Sooner or later they may try again. I apologize if this is the wrong forum for this question.</blockquote>
