The temple at the heart of Azenaria is not just a place of worship. \u00a0It is a gateway. \u00a0It is the only place in this world where Fanquizar can enter the world of mortal man. \u00a0It is the only place in this world where Azoth can feel the black hatred that his master has for this world. \u00a0The black hatred that sustains him. \u00a0It is the only place in this world where the darkness has any chance of destroying the light.<\/p>\n
Like the temple of Azenaria, the temple at the heart of O\u2019orn is also a gateway. \u00a0Unlike Azenaria, this temple is the gateway that Fa\u2019Aln uses to fight the darkness.<\/p>\n
Until Azoth is victorious in conquering the world, his master is powerless to enter the hearts and minds of men, and to turn them to him. \u00a0However, the same rules apply to Fa\u2019Aln. \u00a0He cannot force any man to turn to the light. \u00a0It is up to the Az-Anan and the O\u2019orn to convince the men and women of the world to follow the light, or the dark.<\/p>\n
So far, the world has remained in balance. \u00a0Fa\u2019Aln understands the importance of that balance. \u00a0Fanquizar does not care. \u00a0It is for this reason, that the O\u2019orn must struggle so terribly to maintain the balance. \u00a0The darkness has the power of a god behind it. \u00a0The light does not. \u00a0Fa\u2019Aln will not intervene to force the balance to be ruined. \u00a0The O\u2019orn must continue to fight against the darkness, the Az-Anan, and their evil god, while at the same time, convince mankind to follow the light and maintain the balance.<\/p>\n
It is an eternal struggle. \u00a0As long as the balance exists, Azoth and Fanquizar will fight against it. \u00a0If the balance ends, the O\u2019orn and the world will be destroyed.<\/p>\n
How will the O\u2019orn keep up the fight? \u00a0How can they hope to defeat Azoth and the Az-Anan and their god? \u00a0The only hope of the O\u2019orn lies in one person, one of their own. \u00a0Only he can overcome the darkness. \u00a0Only he will be able to confront the demons of Azoth and Fanquizar.<\/p>\n
