Shrine of the Crocodile
Dedicated to an ancient chultan fable, this temple stands at the location of the ruined Camp Righteous .
Rumoured to hold great treasures, the shrine is designed around the fable of "The Chultan & The Crocodile":
The Chultan & The Crocodile
In the early days of the world, Man stood by the ban ks of a river, frightened . Crocodile raised his head from the water and asked, “What troubles you, cousin Man?” Man said, " I must cross this river, but I fear to enter the water alone, because it teems with your brethren." Crocodile rep lied, “It’s true, you would not be safe. But I will carry you across the river safely on my back, if you promise to return the favor.” Man agreed, and Crocodile bore him safely across the water When they reached the f ar bank , Man asked, “How can I repay you?” Crocodile replied, “I wish to see the realm of Humans, but I fear to go there alone, because it teems with your brethren. You must carry me on your back across your realm.” Man had been tricked, but a promise is a promise, so he carried Crocodile safely on his back across the entire realm of humans, a journey that lasted many years. He also swore, in his anger, that never again would Men and Crocodiles be friends , and so it has remained to this day.
