Bankrolled by an eccentric billionaire in the 1960s and manufactured by a Mexican candy company, the Temple is a giant gummi worm laying in the middle of the Yucatan Penninsula that has been hollowed out into a myriad of rooms for monks, nuns, worship services, and teeth-achingly sweet feasts.
The candy slimes are house cat size balls of slime with adorable little faces. Each slime is a vibrant color that corresponds to the flavor of their goo, which they harvest and sell to the confectionary industry. This doesn't harm or even cause pain to the slimes and they're more than happy to bring joy around the world with their sweets! They live in several villages surrounding the temple and tend to spend their days getting up to hijinx when they're not busy planning their next festival.
Originally assumed to be a corruption of 'trial by combat', references to Conrad were sparse and his existence as a figure within ancient babywormcore was debated by scholars. Recent archeological discoveries have made references to Conrad unequivocal, but little is known about who or what Conrad is outside of references to ooze and depictions of a game disturbingly similar to Chinese checkers (which is actually German). The candy slimes claim to be made in his image.
Oozelda was a barbarian adventurer raised from her infancy by the candy slimes. Her towering stature and precision with the battleaxe led to her becoming the champion of the slimes. Once a terror of the skies that sent a shiver down the not-spine of every candy slime, Oozelda is singlehandly responsible for the CITES I listing of the jelly dragons. She also represented the candy slimes in multiple international timbersports competitions and is venerated as an all-time great of the sport. After retiring from adventuring, Oozelda got a degree in economics then pursued an MBA. Her policies, colloquilly known as Oozedustrialization, tamped down hyperinflation in the candy slimes' economy and successfully integrated it into global markets.
