And when they found it, they should construct a great temple there. And so they did.\n\nAs the years passed, the temple grew ever more glorious - Pilgrims flocked to the temple, hoping to learn the way of the faith from the residing priests, and their donations allowed the temple to become ever more influential. As time went by, many raiders sent by rival gods attempted to destroy the temple, but to no avail - the relic protecting the temple, gave the priests the power they needed to turn back the invaders, and in time, the temple grew rich with donations of gold and magical items.\n\nBut the head priest of a nearby temple grew ever more resentful of the temple. Their temple had been the most important temple of the faith in the region, and now he could only watch, as the new temple robbed him of his congregation and of his use. His soul grew dark with jealousy, and one night he heard a whispering voice in his head. \"You have no need to resent the temple - you rank higher than the head priest of their temple, and as such, you should demand the relic for your own congregation!\" All night it continued, whispering bitter-sweet words to the priest, until all he could think of was the great injustice done to him. And when the sun rose, he commanded a small group of temple guards to escort him to the new temple.\n\nThe young head priest greeted him with great joy, but it quickly vanished when he started to speak: \"I demand that the relic you hold here be given to me - I am high priest, and it is my right... and indeed my duty... to guard this relic from whoever would take it.\" His guards then proceeded towards the holy shrine, but was opposed by the temple guards of the new temple. \"We have been entrusted with the care of this relic by the Gods themselves - as such, we cannot relinquish it without approval from the gods.\", the younger head priest spoke. \"If you oppose me, you are not worthy of holding the relic!\" the old head priest screamed, and he and his guards attacked, meaning to take the relic by force.\n\nThe fight was short and brutal - taken by surprise, the guardians of the new temple were not well equipped to resist an attack from the determined opposition, and the young head priest was horrified by the thought of using the relic's powers against priests of his own faith, and as such he did nothing. When the battle was over, only the young head priest was still standing, gasping from a bleeding wound in his side. Bravely he stood between the invaders and the relic, stumbling, but still standing. \"Please Brother, can't you see that this is wrong?\" he pleaded. But to no avail - as he weakly tried to prevent the older priest from taking the relic, he was struck down by the priest's mace. The old priest smiley wickedly and reached for the relic.\n\nThen, an deep resonating voice boomed from the ceiling. \"My priest - why do you spill the blood of your Brothers in the very sanctum dedicated to my will? I feel their blood running through the cracks in my floor, and I weep for them.\" Defiantly the priest answered: \"It is you who have offended me! You have bestowed this relic upon a young whelp, even as my priests and I have served you in these lands for our entire life! I just asked him for the relic that was meant for me, by any means of justice!\" He then proceeded and reached for the relic. \n\n\"My Son, the reasons for my choice of my young priest are not for you to judge - I implore you, do not touch the relic - it is not for you, and if you touch it, much will be lost in this world.\" The priest hesitated for a few moments, but then his face was distorted with hatred as he remembered the whispered words. \"I have served you my entire life, without ever being bestowed a mere fraction of your grace!\" he yelled \"Now I shall finally have my reward!\" And with that, he reached out and grasped the relic.\n\nThe booming voice filled the room again, but this time, it spoke with great sadness. \"You have risen against me - I cannot allow this relic to leave this temple - You have made your decision, and as such you must face the consequences. This temple and its contents must be protected forever! And you will be its guardians\" \n\nAnd with that, the very earth started shaking - Panicked priests and pilgrims tried to escape the building, but the as relic pulsed with glowing light, they were held back at the entrance. Water started flowing into the temple, as the island it rested upon slowly sank beneath the waves of water surrounding it, drowning the desperate screams of the faithful. And as the water reached the inner sanctum, the old priest cried to his god for mercy, but to no avail - and shortly thereafter he too went below the waves.\n\nThe location of the temple has been lost for years, but it is said that he who manage to find it, will find great magic treasures in its old halls. The legend warns however, of the priests and pilgrims who patrol its halls, ever vigilant against intruders who would take the relic and bring it to the surface world once more.\n\n- Thoris Eron, the Sage",
