The Lost Temple Of Zios River




In The Lost Temple Of Zios is a murky, dark blue river. It isn't as bright as the Crystal Sands Oceans, but a patch of this river is a brighter teal then the rest, for the moonlight reflects on it. The Lost Temple is always a place of dark and mystery, and the sun never rises or sets, the moon just stays in the sky. This is because the temple was once a charming land where Graham did his studies, and the sun would shine. But Zios was the Sky Father, who would bend the sun beams to The Temple to give it brightness. When phantoms defeated Zios, no sun came to the Temple, Graham stopped studying in the land, and everyone began to lose interest in it. Now, back to this murky river. It was named Sunlight Brook when Zios was alive, since the moonlight wasn't noticed because most Jammers focused on the sunlight. The Temple was thought to be a scary place full of dark magic at night. But when Zios faded and the sunlight faded with him, the Jammers noticed the moonlight shining on the river more often. It was then renamed Moonlight Brook. If you look closely, you will see an arch of rocks where the river enters, and disappears under the land. Some Jammers tried to ride rafts into the arch to see where it lead to, but those who did were never seen again. Did the river lead to a new land that had many phantoms one unexpecting traveler couldn't defeat? Did it lead to a cave with ancient jewels Zios left safe when he was still alive? No one will ever know unless one has the bravery to get a raft and take an adventure.......

The Chamber of Knowledge

Graham was given a land full of wonder, the Lost Temple of Zios. Here's a little bit on one of the Chambers in this Temple.....

On the first floor, Graham put little trinkets of his - candles, books, pottery, and a few torches. There, he would relax after long days in Jamaa by reading a book, making clay pots, or building something new in the Chamber of Knowledge.  On the second floor, he knit a rug of zios, added some games for fellow jammers to play, and many other things. One of these "other things" was a preserved phantom. The phantom was the very first found in Jamaa, and it was defeated. Graham preserved its remains, and it now lies in the Chambers. Another was a set of arrows that went to a bow. No one knows the mystery of these strange bows, which also lie in the Hot Cocoa Hut. Maybe they were used in the first war against the phantoms, or maybe they were just decorations crafted by Graham. On the very top floor, there's a shop where jammers can buy items such as alpha statues and wishing wells, and some telescopes pointing at a window that shows many, many stars. Could these stars be a whole Jamaasian Galexy? Only one way to find out...

Little's Journal

Long ago in Jamaa, before Zios was created, even before plants and animals roamed the open world of Jamaa, there was only a large land of overgrown woods. The only animals that inhabited the woods were bunnies, wolves, foxes, and raccoons. One of the bunnies' names was Little. Little was very shy, and barely said a word to anyone. She would live alone in small burrows along the trees. Little also carried around a journal. It was her father's, and he told her to keep it safe. Months after she got the journal, Little realized it never ran out of pages. So she would write about basically anything, from what she ate that day to what the weather was like. Years later, when the journal was very thick, and very heavy, Little placed the journal in a ledge of her burrow, which is now the Flag Shop. In that same year, Zios was created, and Jamaa improved. There were lands and meadows, and the once empty Sarepia Forest was turning into a place where clans would act, and Jamaa wasn't improving. It was getting worse. Little hid in her burrow for the rest of her time, or at least everyone thinks. Soon, the alpha's found Little's old journal, and started writing in it. Harper wrote stories of courage, Greely wrote about magic tricks, Cosmo wrote the best herbs to use for medicines, and Peck would sketch drawings of the forest. The journal still lies in Little's burrow, and still hasn't run out of pages.
