Steel Sanctuary Escapade (Plus, a bit of Story)
"Thankfully drolves are... mostly... fire resistant."
_______________________________________________________________________
This was originally going to be me talking shortly about what the Steel Sanctuary is, but I suppose my brain got left on autopilot, since I ended up pouring out the whole tale of it right here. Buckle up, you MAY be in for a treat.
During Kreo's time out in the wild, the Elders had grown sick of his disobedience to their plans, and had eventually chosen to chain him up in a lava and fire- filled area in the notorious Steel Sanctuary. Unfortunately for the devious false- gods, Kreo had already gained enough forms and helpful utilities from his fellow peers in order to escape from a fiery demise rather efficiently. It's going to take more than that to keep him restrained!

Only the Wind Remains
One of Zealous's more renown locations is known as the Steel Sanctuary, named after the material it was primarily composed of, and designed to withstand both elongated periods of time and exposure to the elements. It once housed an entire council of sages, each one tasked with maintaining the ecological and weather patterns of Zealous as a whole. They often traded roles in set rotations, exchanging talents freely with one- another, and attempting to assault or threaten these beings were met with acts of extreme prejudice... Not like anyone had a reason to go against their rule, however.
Firgale, a blue and white winged wolf, was one of these sages, having achieved a fairly respected position among the council for keeping the Heights zone in check as best she could for extended periods of time, when before she simply oversaw the state of the oceans. The Heights were observed to be slowly disappearing once the transformative blizzard blew in, and if it wasn't for Firgale to assume the role of suppressing the storm, it would have vanished off the planet's surface. Certain sages think it would be better if the Heights were to disappear off the face of the planet due to all the harm and deaths it causes. Firgale, however, retaliates aggressively against these suggestions whenever they are spoken, claiming she sees some "potential" in the zone, and refuses to elaborate further.
Unfortunately, despite the structure and purpose of the Steel Sanctuary, it was no match for the Corruption upon its arrival, completely eroding away the entrance like a knife through hot butter, flooding into the sanctuary where it infected most of the council members, due to there being little to no warning. Firgale, still focused entirely on maintaining the Heights, didn't flinch whatsoever to the ensuing chaos occurring around her, even after a few of the sages were tugging on her arms and wings, insisting that they had to leave. She was still too focused on maintaining the Heights, her mind clouded with only sticking to her role. The Corruption closed in more and more around the last few sages, the red and black tendrils radiating dark energy, and just as it made contact with Firgale's tail, a deafening feminine scream is heard from her, echoing throughout the entire sanctuary, causing her to send out a shockwave of distressed energy that pushed the Corruption all the way out of the sanctuary, anything caught in its wake being shrouded in a mixture of everlasting ice, fire, and gravity- defying water.
None know of the fates that occurred to the other sages that were near Firgale when the event occurred, the tale being told by the few that managed to escape the structure in time. What is left of the sanctuary is now held together by hundreds of long strands of ice, lava, and water, all of which don't react to one- another, despite being practically conjoined. Some say you can hear Firgale's weeping and stressed outcries echo throughout the barren building.
