The Temple of the Masters of Light and Dark is a large structure in the northernmost mountains of the Tamire, that was once used prior to the Great Destruction as a sacred site by the Merkitsa Elves. The temple's powers were unlocked by the wielder of the Blackgem, which enabled the summoning of an all-powerful elemental guardian that served either good or evil, depending on the wielder of the gem. In 22 AC, the guardian was summoned by the dark lord Bylarr, but the elemental was healed of Bylarr's corrupting influence by the young healer Miisia Genyei. The healer then gave the Blackgem to the elemental himself for safekeeping, ensuring that the Blackgem could not be used by the dark forces of Taladas ever again, nor could the elemental be summoned for any nefarious purpose.
