Zaizen's Temple is an underground fortress and temple in the depths the Balagan-Tas region of volcanoes in Northeastern Siberia. It was built by
ZaizenTamari Zaizen and his followers
TheLost The Lost in 1347 BCE.
The temple is at the center of one of the world's
DeadZones Dead Zones shielding it from modern observation. Locked within its depths are the labs where Zaizen twisted souls, runes, and power to create the
TheLeftHand and
TheRightHand as well as create
Deathblade, flay the skin from
NDore and create
Golem. The implements and materials of these dark experiements still lie hidden below the surface, locked away behind powerful
RuneCraft Runes, designed to keep out the unwary, still waiting for their master's return.
The complex itself is also riddled with mundane traps and structures that only one immune to death could truly pass though. When Zaizen was defeated in 2007 the invaders barely scratched the surface, leaving the dark paths deep below the earth unexplored.
The volcano has a rich deposit of
ColdSteel Cold Steel, the largest in Asia, which Zaizen used to fuel his power and build his armies.
The temple complex itself, besides its rune, and natural defenses is guarded by a large and loyal army of Lost, who, though their master is gone, still hunt the barren tundra, happy to kill in their master's name, waiting for his return.
After the defeat of Zaizen in 2007,
ShesuAshari Shesu Ashari,
Eve and
Golem stated that they planned to return to the temple to begin rehabilitating it and make an attempt to ensure that its contents do not come to harm or are used by people with evil intentions.
