The dark green Mayan-style temple, for example, is actually a set of cheap (but heavy!) bookends sold to tourists in Mexico along the Mayan coast; Dave gave them to me many years ago, figuring I couldn't do anything too dangerous with them. Unfortunately for him and Harchar, they instantly became scenic items as the Mysterious Lost Temple of the Nameless Ones...

I was just thinking about this, and how it would be interesting to develop a background for this temple within the Blackmoor mythology as well. Seems like something I could tie in with my Jungle Realm. Possibly this could be the Jungle Realm equivalent of the Temple of Id.

Thoughts?

I suppose you'll want more detailed photos of the thing, then?

Well, you absolutely HAVE to have snakes there.

Possibly monkeys as well. Smile

Spiders would probably be overkill - plus, I hate spiders. lol

Would you want it to be a lost temple, or one still very active in shaping local society?

Good question. I was thinking about linking it to my Blackmoor Jungle Realm idea. How about a combination? The Temple has been abandoned, but there is a tribe of humans living in fear under its shadow?

Yep. Ethnically, I am thinking these will resemble Africans, but culturally, this would fit perfectly!
