The Temple of Ea was the jewel of Fallien. Laying in the lands of the Blight, past the glassy sands of Nirrakal, it was the world's most important secret; the home of the king of gods Eiyuu Ou.
The temple seemed to be alive.
Deeper into the intestines of the legendary Ea, the wood and oil torches that flanked the corridors would spontaneously burst into flame and illuminate the path in front of you, though the flames were hardly adequate enough to eat into the cool darkness.
Though the majority of the ancient sandstone masonry was intact, dangerous footfalls and dangling vines emerged from the shadows.The passageways open up into a larger, elaborate and more ornate room. It was polished glass; ocean blue, smooth to the touch and covering every inch of the room's floor, save for a pedestal in the centre which was dwarfed by the sheer expanse of the chamber. Carvings in the ceiling sailing high above seemed to depict the goddess Dryx sentencing a defiant Eiyuu Ou to death. The askew lid of the golden sarcophagus in the middle was decorated with runes which looked as if they were meant to serve as guardians over the body, keeping it sealed forever.
It would seem they failed.
