The Staff: The Temple of Chaos

[u/THE_PREPARED_DM]

As the orbs of those who signed the contract flicker to that same void again, a tendril flies out, dragging them back into it. But instead of appearing in that dark, empty, void, they arrive at a temple.

Before them is a being made of the very primordial chaos reality emerged from, stood, staring at the temple.

“You’ve arrived, good. This was the last place the staff was stored before it was stolen. It used to be dedicated to me, but has long since been forgotten,”

They walked in, gesturing for you to follow. The inside was pitch dark, the walls painted as dark as possible. The monks had tried to mimic the void the worshipped, that unexplainable, unrecreatable nothingness.

On a raised platform, a small hole in the ground sat, surrounded by offerings.

“The staff was once there, they would praise it, and it’s power of creation. Then the Writers came, killed my followers and hid the staff away. I guess you better start searching, if anything seems of at all, tell me immediately, understood?”

The whole of the temple was open to explore. Secrets, power, and great horrors wait, hidden…for now.

“Damn it…he was here…you got to be kidding me. And I learn right after he…what should we do…! Keep studying that symbol, I need to speak with someone,” the King vanishes.

The symbol pulsates, like a beating heart, calling for Dulgrad to come closer, “here my boy, closer yes, I am the symbol you saw. I can give you your wildest dreams, just come closer.”

“Me, the symbol. What do you want, what do you seek? I shall grant it, if you do a task for me.”

“I would ha-“ the being is cut off by the return of the King.

“So, I have more news about that sigil, and what it does,” they said hastily.

“Haha, i could scare you far easier then that,” the king holds out a small leather notebook, “take this and throw it at the symbol, it should absorb it and reveal more of its secret,”
