	'''The Temple of Darkness''' is some unknown ruined temple to the Charon ([[Lornon]]) pantheon that contained the same [[The Temple of Darkness Poem\|passage]] regarding Morgu ([[Marlu]]) as [[Marlu#The Broken Lands\|found]] in [[The Broken Lands]]. It was implicitly abandoned at the end of the [[Wars of Dominion]], and alluded to [[Black Hel\|conditions]] that did not exist until a few centuries after the death of [[Uthex Kathiasas]]. The way it portrayed several of the Dark Gods deviated significantly from their [[ICE age\|I.C.E. Age]] theology. It is not clear whether it is related to the [[Nyrdru\|Temple of Night]] which fell to the [[Loremasters]] in 450 [[Third Era]], which might have been in Gaalt near the [[Wall of Darkness]], and so may have been related to another surviving follower of [[Kadaena]] called the [[Andraax\|Master of Malice]]. "Morgu lyxatis kort" can be plausibly translated as "Morgu, Master of Malice."

			'''The Temple of Darkness''' is some unknown ruined temple to the Dark Lords of Charôn (Modern: [[Lornon]]) from the [[ICE age\|I.C.E. Age]] of GemStone III. It is only mentioned in the [[Temple of Darkness Poem]], where a stanza from it is found in the Broken Lands. In the Broken Lands it is written in [[Iruaric]], the ancient language of the [[Lords of Essaence]], in an alphabetic form which should not have existed in the [[First Era]]. The Temple of Darkness was implicitly abandoned by the end of the [[Wars of Dominion]], when the Dark Gods were imprisoned on Charôn or otherwise banished by the Lords of Orhan (Modern: [[Liabo]]).
	Given the implied importance of Orgiana ([[Eorgina]]) in the underlying context of the Broken Lands, and her realm as the goddess of darkness, it is probable that the "Temple of Darkness" is supposed to be a ruined temple of hers. The Temple of Burning Night in southwest [[Jaiman]] was the center of her theocracy before she was banished to the [[Black Hel]]. It was run by V'rama Vair, the daughter of the [[Empress Kadaena]]. This would explain the poem venerating her as a "queen" when she was not actually queen of Charon.

			The poem alludes to conditions which would not have existed yet when [[Uthex Kathiasas]] was still living. This is especially clear with the stanza regarding [[ICE gods#Eorgina\|Orgiana]], the Goddess of Darkness, who is described as silently waiting to take her revenge on the world. This raises a number of major questions about the Dark Shrine, including how it came to be present in both locations and what that really means.

	==Behind the Scenes==		==Behind the Scenes==
			The [[Temple of Darkness Poem]] is studied in depth in [[Research:The Broken Lands]]. There is a vignette in the Shadow World Master Atlas, 1st Edition (1989), where the Loremasters raid the "Temple of Night" in 450 [[Third Era]] and slay a corrupted priest named [[Nyrdru]]. This may have been in Gaalt near the [[Wall of Darkness]], and so perhaps related to a surviving follower of [[Kadaena]] known as the [[Andraax\|Master of Malice]]. The theocracy of Orgiana (Modern: [[Eorgina]]) was ruled by V'rama Vair, the daughter of [[Empress Kadaena]], with the "Temple of Burning Night". This was a lesser pantheon of "Dark Godlings", presumably only a sub-pantheon of Charôn consisting of the servants of Orgiana, who were destroyed, imprisoned in meteoric ore, or banished to the [[Black Hel]]. These issues are also studied in [[Research:The Graveyard]].
	The Temple of Darkness is only mentioned in [[The Temple of Darkness Poem\|the poem]] that was released as one of the documents giving historical background for The Broken Lands. The Dark Gods were extra-planar beings who had arrived on the moon Charon, which was only the size of an asteroid, in 450 [[Second Era]] as an accidental consequence of dormant [[Lord of Essaence]] gateways interacting with the unnatural comet [[Sa'kain]]. The implication is that they were fashioned by the [[Empress Kadaena]] on a plane of existence parallel to the [[Uthex Kathiasas#Behind the Scenes\|dark side]] of the moon and were somehow banished there at the end of the [[First Era]].

	While the ruins of the temple are implied to have been from the Wars of Dominion, the poem still refers to conditions that would not have made sense until the [[Third Era]]. Similarly, the same phrasing would have been used centuries earlier with respect to Morgu and its coupled stanza for Orgiana, which on face value is problematic. This may be rooted in [http://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/sot.aspx "The Shadow out of Time"] by H.P. Lovecraft as related to [[Kadaena]] being known as [[The Dark Path#Behind the Scenes\|"the Shadow"]], which could go some way to explaining how [[The Dark Path]] was in homage of a goddess that died over a hundred thousand years earlier. (Though the idea of the ''sleeping demons'' telepathically imparting information, including [[Makiri#Behind the Scenes\|prophetic visions]], through the nightmares of unrelated cults is one of [[Greater vruul#Behind the Scenes\|the motifs]] borrowed from [http://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/cc.aspx "The Call of Cthulhu"]. The idea is also represented by the "shining trapezohedron" in [http://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/hd.aspx "The Haunter of the Dark"], represented by the [[Uthex Kathiasas#Crystal Dome\|crystal dome]], which was "a window on all time and space" with the mind of [[Bandur Etrevion#Behind the Scenes\|Nyarlathotep]].)

	Consider: "The war gave me strange impressions of remembering some of its far-off consequences—as if I knew how it was coming out and could look back upon it in the light of future information. All such quasi-memories were attended with much pain, and with a feeling that some artificial psychological barrier was set against them." This is remarkable as The Broken Lands uses messaging of someone or something [[Crystyl\|blocking against]] telepathy and teleportation. There is also room messaging that implies you feel like someone or something is watching you, which plays into the premise [[Magru#Behind the Scenes\|derived]] from the Great Race of Yith. One possibility is that Kadaena herself was dormant in the crystal dome which acquired power for her to resurrect as a goddess. Other servants became the Dark Lords. It might well be the point that they formed powerful [[Lesser vruul#Behind the Scenes\|non-corporeal entities]] ([[Ordainer\|demons]] and dark gods) as [[avatar\|avatars]], and their [[Bandur Etrevion#Behind the Scenes\|death-like sleep]] amounted to transferring spirit or mind across time and space.

	The Temple of Darkness is only mentioned in [[The Temple of Darkness Poem\|the poem]] that was released as one of the documents giving historical background for The Broken Lands.
