Okay so the yin and yang is gonna be split into two dudes (gender neutral). They're like. The makers of the mazes or something. They're demigods of sorts

There consists of 4 temples, 3 of which are filled with mazes

The first temple is just the entrance. A few traps maybe. At the end there are 4 gems. We'll talk about those later

The second temple is fire and water. Pretty self explanatory. The green goo is nerfed btw.

The other second temple (this'll make sense soon i hope) which we'll just call the third temple is wind and earth. This where weight and flight is involved

The last temple, the biggest temple, combines the 4 elements along with light and dark. Light puzzles require you to adjust mirrors and also there's ice. Dark puzzles require you to traverse the maze in darkness (or with the little light you can manage to produce) and black goo or i guess tar? Is there.

At the end of the last temple there is a great hall where the victors can feast. There are more rooms to explore but it's better to exit (trust me)

Anyway the 4 elementals are fire, water, wind, and earth (something something avatar shut up). These elementals are created from vessels, often humans, but they can be any living creature, who touches a crystal. Within the mazes, these vessels are reborn when they die. Outside, however, once an elemental dies, it's spirit finds its way back to its crystal. There can be no more than one elemental of each crystal.

To turn back into a human or whatever creature they were, an elemental must drink The Golden Milk. It's not actually milk. It's just this thick golden drink that's really sweet. Although.. the transformation back to a vessel is just as painful as the transformation into an elemental..

If you want to know what Golden Milk tastes like just mix a bunch of honey with milk until they're one consistent fluid. You can have it at whatever temperature you prefer but our fellas got to drink it warm.
