PHANTOM
The Phantom was once a prized ghost of the Stergyk Nation, infamous for his sleuthing abilities and his skills in taking down targets. A reknowned hitman. He dissapeared during the Mission to find the Power of the Temples.
Presumably, he has emerged from the temples with the power to seep into another's mind and create hallucinations. His decoys and sniping abilities makes him even more potent, and now is rarely even seen when he executes his target.
Whether he sides with the North or the South, he is one hero to be wary of.

PSION
A mythical machine that has been created by the Protectors of the Temple. Its interior is covered with what is known as "Psionine", a liquid element which contains properties that nullifies the Powers of the Temples.
This machine can willfully deploy this element, and create mass areas of Void, where much of the energies are absorbed and deleted by this potent chemical.

EARTH DEMON
A Demon that has been said to be the cause of earthquakes, and the destruction of many architectures. It's burrow attack is strong, and while it may seem vulnerable, it's ability to tunnel throw the ground allows it to escape easily.
As infamous as the demon is in causing havoc, it's purpose at the Temples is unknown. Whether it is there to simply cause reckless damage, or there to control the powers of the temple, it must be stopped!

In past times, early civilizations struggled to survive. Resources were scarce, and groups must constantly travel to find new areas to live. Wars over territories were often, and would scar families and children both physically and mentally. Elderly and children were often left behind.

One child became delirious after the lost of his parents. He claimed that he has found a way to save all the violence, a new resource to tap into. He believed that if they had built a Temple, angels will descend and provide them with food and shelter, aid them in battle, and revive the dead. The villagers ignored him, but he continued to boaster the fantastic Powers of the Temple. Soon, with the limited food, the villagers used the excuse of a mental illness and deserted the young child.

Angry and unwavering, the child took off and, as if possessed, started building the Temple. No one knows what happened afterwards, but they were almost certain that the boy will starve or be eaten, and hopefully will be happy to see his parents again.

Almost a year has passed, and the people returned to their original site, still starving, and losing to the continual battle for food. And then they saw it. A magnificent structure towering above the trees, seemingly as enormous as a mountain, stood at where the child was last seen. They looked closely at the Temple, and engraved on its side said “Temple of Heroes.”

Suddenly, a strange aura glowed through the villagers. They all immediately felt stronger. Scars were healed, and certain people strangely entranced by its Powers. However, “where was the boy?” asked a man. At the very moment, a woman screamed. They rushed to see what has happened. On another side of the temple, marked in blood, said “I had the power to bring fortune to you, but you did not believe me. The fortune does not belong to you, and the Temple’s Powers will only bring death.” … The child was never found, as if he has risen to heaven using the Temple as the gateway.

Initially, no misfortune was brought by the Temple. It was rather much the opposite. The villagers became strong, and several had tapped into the Powers of the Temple. Those few that can gain abilities that were almost magical. Some had the ability to bring fourth the healing powers of the Temple many miles away from it, while others were able to focus the energy and produced shockwaves that stunned or destroyed their enemies. The village grew, and after a few generations, the people have almost become oblivious to the shocking message engraved by blood on the Temple of Heroes. Almost.

Several village raiders became missing. With the Powers of the Temple, the people of the Temple, as they have coined themselves, were nearly invincible, so they didn’t understand why they did not return. Another raid group was sent, and after a few days, a man returned, heavily bleeding. This was when the people became aware that the legendary child actually built two Temples. “Yes,” said the dying man, “we were able to get close enough to see the looming Temple. Its shape and size is *cough* is unmistakable. They also have th-the Powers…”

From then on, the two groups knew that they both had the same Powers. Inevitably, magnificent battles were brought. The people of the Temples concurred other colonies in order to use their men to battle each other. The war raged, and deaths were insurmountable.

After decades of war, both sides were still stubborn. Even with the Powers of the Temple, their resources were diminishing, and so were their numbers. Yet, blinded by the evil that has been injected by the Temple, they fought on. When all were lost, there was one final battle. As both sides raced to each others, swords and spears in their hands, arrows covering the sky, they were prepared to meet their death.

When, all of a sudden, the tip of the two Temples emitted a great blinding light. The earth shoke violently, and rocks and trees started to crumble. A great sound was heard throughout the battlefield: “You have suffered enough for your previous deeds, and I will not tolerate any more deaths. The Powers of the Temples shall never be used again.” Then suddenly, the ground tore apart from the continent, great waves dragged the land towards the ocean, along with the people and its Temples. The great lights bended and focused onto the tip of both the Temples. The lights met at the middle, creating a shining nova of mysterious energy. Slowly, the aura from the people evaporated and drifted into the nova. Everyone suddenly felt famished, and weak. Many couldn’t lift themselves from the armor that they were wearing, and those that tapped into the Powers were immediately deprived of it. After taking the entire aura from the people, the nova emitted a final blast of energy that shocked the entire island. The people vanished.

Before the Great Wars of the Temples have utterly destroyed the Civilization of the Temple's People, there was a system of academia in their rich and mysterious lives. A former teacher, known for his infamous pool of knowledge, lived at these times, and was well respected for his seemingly extraordinary connection with the Temples.

As the Powers of the Temple were initially entrusted into its People, the Powers was most immanent in this teacher. He quickly became the principal investigator of a team to discover and harness the true sources of their powers. Through perseverance, and good research, he was able to understand the Temple’s power, and unlocked it to many of his students.

He was considered a sage, and man of high standing, the one person that can communicate with the structure that overshadows their lives, that gives them wealth and good fortune.

But, when the Great Wars came, the sage became a traitor, as he fled from the villages. This was only because he knew what was happening. He finally understood the bloody message left behind on the Temple. He knew that there was another Temple, he knew that there will be wars. Most importantly, he knew that all will be destroyed in a fierce, catastrophic end.

He escaped, and watched as the Wars continued. The sage was content with his decision to run away, and was ready to begin his life again, and forget the bane of the Temples. Suddenly, he saw a blinding light coming from the Temples. As his eyes begin to recover, the light was brilliant, and soared up like a stream into the sky, parting clouds. He saw streams of colors dancing in the light, as if the aura of light was trying to escape the control of the Temples. The lights soon joined together and a nova of energy emitted and knocked the sage unconscious.

The sage survived the nova, and now believes that his many years of hard work have only scratched the surface of the Powers of the Temple. He was completely intrigued by the light energy emitted by the People’s last episode of war. As though he was controlled by an extraneous force, he had to go back and study the Temples once again. He realized he cannot leave. He realized he was cursed from the very start.
