Witness endless power and surrender to it.

  • Alternative title: Sand Temple / ST / 폭풍의 모래신전

  • Available Difficulties: Easy, Normal, Hard

The pillars of Ajanara are not the only relics that the Ajanara Brotherhood watches over. In the Zasteri Badlands lie the ruins of a temple, hidden away in quiet seclusion, with a powerful barrier around its grounds to contain an other-worldly evil. This impurity consumed some of their own, including Brother Rukesh, a monk with endless potential who transcended the limits by inviting in an abominable force of evil that brought a curse upon him and his followers. Rukesh now lives in Sandstorm Temple with his admirers while being kept secret by the Ajanara Brotherhood.

Brother Hyunmyung now fears the barrier's strength is faltering. A skilled Ajanara monk has been sent to the site to help restore the barrier, but can only seal it once the evil within has been subdued.
