The Temples of the Elements

This is an article about The Temples of the Elements, a location created by Crystalpony51.

The Temples of the Elements are monuments of mysterious origins that house the Elements. They are currently being studied and their purpose is in the process of being evaluated.

Ecology
There aren't that many plants and animals in the temples' areas, as their positions don't have too much vegetation. The Aero Temple, for example, has too much wind for actual plants to grow. The Aqua temple is located underwater, in the middle of the ocean, in a place where there is too much water pressure and too little sunlight for plants to grow.

Climate
The climate varies depending on their location. For example, the Terra temple is located underground in Angel Island, while the Glacial temple is brutally cold due to the Arctic climate it's located in.

History
Not much about the Temples. An old tale says that they have existed since the creation of the planet and that they were given to Mobius by the gods, but there have been scientists that are eager to disprove the legends. So far, all attempts to estimate the temples' ages have been unsuccessful. The number of wielders that used to inhabit the temples are unknown, however there are two well known wielders: King Cosmin and Queen Solaria. These two were able to handle the stress of wielding all six Elementals and became the rulers of the Kingdom of Chronos. However, since they already had their own residence, the temples were left to become decrepit. Nikki and her friends rediscovered the temples, and as a result they became more widely known and are attracting attention from all over the world.

Significant Populations
The temples were all made to accommodate the wielder of the element they represented, along with their followers and their servants. However, the last wielders had their own kingdom, and thus the temples became derelict and forgotten to time. They were reactivated when Nikki, Sonic, Dusk, Knuckles, and Silver traveled to five of them and gained their Elements. (Blaze's temple was already activated because she has possessed the Fire Elemental since birth. (Blaze's world isn't a separate dimension; it is another timeline that split off from the original. This is why it doesn't contain its own version of the elements and only has the Blaze temple.))

Notable Areas
The most notable area in the temples are the pedestals where the representations of the elements rest before they are claimed by their wielders. This is located in the center of every temple and before the Elements are taken, no one else is allowed inside but its wielder.

Landmarks
These temples have no landmarks because they are landmarks themselves.
