Story

The Temple in the first days (Ifriton, Sparron, Talpan & Tritan are created) was a very busy place, all the ancient humans wanted to offer gifts to the gods, the temple had all the doors open and nobody dared even think of doing anything improper in the temple zones, this temple together with others temples were considered holy places.

During the Gods rage (awakening) when humans found this special place (they forgot the purpose of the temple and they didn't understand the symbols in the walls and floors), they had many thoughts about the origin of this place but two of the theories were most commonly voiced, though both opposed eachother. The first theory said the temple was an adoration temple and they should follow doing the same and restore it, cleaning from monsters and ask for the Gods forgiveness. The second one was about the temple being the Gods domain (nobody knows the exact location where the gods are now) but the gods used it to kill humans (because of the presence of the monsters inside) and charged the monsters with the task of guarding the temple and obliterating all who went in, so they must destroy the whole temple, and conflict did occur between the two sides.

The defenders of the temple were called "trozees" (Meaning the people who defend) and the people agianst them were called "Mavoglers" (Meaning temple destroyers). The defenders built towers to protect the temples preentrance, and used Mana (magic) to seal the doors (though their magic skill was poor so the spell lasted for short periods of time) and they were mostly archers so they installed giant crossbows at the top of the towers to attack their foes from a distance.

Many battles had take place in the temples preentrance, and the wins and losses tilted between the Mavoglers and the Trozees, unable to come to a conclusion.

The Mavoglers were warriors but they studied the archers art and some of them reached a proficient level in it.

Now the temple is not guarded but is not threatened either because the humans forgot the cause of the many wars and battles that had taken so many lives, and now the Age of Conflict just a few scouts or adventurers risk trying to get into the temple, some of them being motivated by stories of great treasures hidden in the temple, others simply by the thrill of danger inside.

Magic still thrives in the tower, trapped in the door seal and the magic torches. Also the big crossbows and all the monsters, now worse than ever because the trozees are not cleaning the temple interiors anymore, are as little in number as 5000 and as large as 10000. What little of their minds they can control has been ravaged by disease and bloodlust, and they now attack travellers or whatever else appears near the temple.
