Temple of the Dragon Cores

History[]

Background[]

Following the creation of the Dragon Cores, the First Spinjitzu Master proceeded to establish the Temple of the Dragon Cores,^[1] a sacred place with the primary purpose of elucidating the tale surrounding both the temple itself and the Dragon Cores. It was the temple that the First Spinjitzu Master halted the Coalescence, averting the merging of the realms into a singular world. To safeguard the Dragon Cores from falling into the wrong hands, the First Spinjitzu Master concealed them, opting to depict their hidden locations through murals. Sacred knowledge would only be unveiled by the Spirit of the Temple, but solely upon the earnest request of a direct descendant of the First Spinjitzu Master.^[2]

Their Draconic Majesty's Request[]

With the help of Leaf Blade, Arin and Ras made their way to the Temple of the Dragon Cores to learn whether or not there was a way to forge Source Dragon Icons without Elemental Powers. Upon entering the temple, Ras beheaded the statue of the First Spinjitzu Master before summoning the Spirit of the Temple. He then inquired about his query, to which the Spirit answered in the affirmative but refused to explain, citing that only a descendent of the First Spinjitzu Master could receive such information. In response, Ras presented the Icon of the Source Dragon of Strength to the Spirit, who identified it as an object of great power nearly equal to that of the Dragon Cores. Satisfied that the Spirit understood the powers of the icon, Ras immediately struck him with it, inflicting great pain upon the Spirit as he demanded the answers to his question. Left without a choice, the Spirit informed Ras that he would have to venture into the depths of the Underworld and find the Casket of Bones within Forge of the Forgotten. Satisfied with this answer, Ras released the Spirit who cursed Arin and Ras before vanishing.
