Temple of Storms

A mysterious temple located in the Storm Peaks of Cloudhome. Said to have been made by the ancestors of Giants, the temple sits on one of Cloudhomes tallest peaks.

It is dedicated to the God Perun, and is said to contain his immortal soul, bound in crystal. If Perun would wish revenge on Gruumsh, The Orc Lordfor the loss of his toe, it can be assumed Peruns faithful would gather here.

A wide path, one of the only straight channels in this region, leads to massive stone steps that stop at the temple’s front door. Crystal golems stand guard at the perimeter, barring access. Shapes can be seen moving around within: massive shapes, too big to be anything but the souls of Storm Giants.

Either way, the myserious giant ancestors have long since vanished and the Storm Giants claim this temple as their own. Occasionally lightning can be seen flickering from the dome — not down to it but up from it — perhaps they’re doing something more than worship in there.

Lightning occurs because of a difference in charge between a storm and the ground. Cloudhomeacts as the negative force while at the Temple of Storm's spire, a positive charge gained from a stepped ladder gathers energy that is released into the sky; thus the appearance of lightning firing into the sky. Nothing "unusual" here. Because energy always flows from negative charge to positive charge, the event described in the materials requires the cloud to have an excess positive charge and the temple itself an excess negative charge. This is a rare event, but has been increasing in frequency over the last century.
