I added another lore installment to the sect of the soul flower–the cult I started surrounding poppies–this is a temple built of the petrified corpse of the very first poppy eons ago. the flower was killed by the wither, and from a single seed sprouted the wither rose. this temple is meant to guard it, keeping it away from the world but keep it alive as it is still wrong to kill any poppy, no matter how dangerous. the old followers of the sect decided that to keep the world safe they would raise it into the sky and place a statue to make sure it never fell. the mountain that once held the first of the soul flowers was raised and the remaining land smoothed over.
four sproutlings of the world poppy were placed to feed the greedy wither rose, permanently stunted by its ravenous need for destruction.
I could go on all day about the lore surrounding this religion, but I will temper myself because I'm not sure anyone wants to hear it.
