At the entrance to the Temple
Posted: Tue Mar 15, 2005 9:44 am
As the heavy, vine-ridden, stone doors silently slide open, the remaining rays of daylight stream down a set of polished stone stairs. A musty smell wafts from below. Xiltik speaks:
"The Temple of Eos, God of Time, the Endless One, Keeper of the Glass, Lord of Infinity. This place has been lost to time for over a thousand years, buried somewhere beneath this wretched swamp, along with the rest of Tol-Doth. I never thought we'd ever get the chance to see this place, and in fact some of my brethren doubted it ever even existed. I never doubted the writings of Yog the Wise. He told of that fateful night, the same night Pel and Lus were destroyed, when an horde of orcs decended upon the city, and killed and burned thousands. The Chronokeepers tried to keep them from desecrating the Temple, but they failed. He doesn't write much more of the battle, only saying that he managed to flee through some sort of magical portal before the orcish hordes could get their claws on him. His further writings were obviously of a quite mad individual, but up to that point some of his other writings have been shown to be accurate. What we do know is that there were quite a number of priests that persihed defending something within the temple, but we don't know what. There are also some passages in the texts referring to the lower levels of the Temple as being impossible to reach, and that there is a guardian of some sort. There are also rumors from other sources, thought to be unreliable, about the lower levels being seperated from Time itself. We need to be quite careful while exploring this place."
