Temple In The Swamp

The temple in the swamp was an ancient temple built (presumably by The Precursors) in The Forgone Fens. It was destroyed when a portal was opened by an orcish warlock using Demon Seals and an onyx statuette.

==Description==
===Before the portal===
Sitting atop a hill deep within The Forgone Fens, this temple was covered in vegetation and thriving life. The smooth and blocky hewn stone building, built thousands of years ago, appeared to have taken almost no damage, despite spending thousands of years in such harsh terrain.
The inside was covered in murals and artwork spread across the walls. The temple was filled with rich, rare vegetation. There was a large, unexplored library inhabited by strange wisp-like creatures; when Pluck approached them, they possessed him to attack Ulrice.
Strangely, orc corpses littered the floor, vines slowly creeping towards them.
Beneath the ground layer of the temple was an unfinished underground section, which The Book and the Peacock found to be inhabited by vegepygmies.
There they came upon Ner'zul and their first Demon Seal; soon after, the temple was no more.
===After the portal===
After fleeing from the portal, the party returned to discovered the whole area had been reduced to a large crater, with a translucent purple barrier surrounding it.
Large rocks orbited a portal in the centre of the crater. While in the large dome, a powerful creature offered power to those around them, telepathically showing strange images of what the victim desired.
Slowly expanding from the centre was an orb of magic; this seemed to be the centre of the portal. Upon entering the centre, they discovered an onyx statuette floating in the centre, cracks running up its side. Ashlynn Crow removed the statuette, causing the portal to disappear.
