Evils Older Than Time Itself
Throughout your travels in one world or another it would be odd if you had never encountered an elemental being. A creature of pure native element: Water, Fire, Earth, or even Air. In Oerth, you would be mistaken if you thought perhaps all of them were simple nature beings without goals. Long ago, a host of destructive elder beings calling themselves “princes” each made of chaotic elemental energies ravaged the planet.
As with every dark thing, those that hungered for their raw power and influence over elements were drawn in to even venerate these beings. Thus a cycle was born where twisted religions and groups formed under these beings. At an apex, in 566 CY The Temple of Elemental Evil rose in the Kron Hills and sought to enslave and torment all in it’s wake.
Thankfully, even in the bleakest times light is shown through. Due to the heroic actions of Heroes of Legend, the Temple was toppled. The beings, powerful as they were, were chased back or imprisoned to deep places where the good people of Oerth hope they never return.
Alas…still there are those in the small dark places that gather. Drawn into the cycle, the cult of worship under these endless and powerful beings has not completely faded. These beings promise power to those that might unleash them once more.
