Lore

The Temple of Lomarith is surrounded by a graveyard of vessels who crossed into the Cosmic Realm, intentionally or not. The ships originate from countless dimensions and epochs, their hulls drifting through the void while their crews succumbed to the realm’s madness.

Inspiration and development

According to id Software senior environment lead artist Kevin Dunlop, this level was imagined to be a former temple or star gate which had been long abandoned. In the final version of the level, the temple sits on the edge of a cliff and is slowly falling into the surrounding ocean.

Also according to Dunlop, the giant cacodemon in the first arena was originally supposed to be covered in spears and chains. He imagined that the cacodemons were being hunted by the Sentinel boats seen in the Cosmic Realm, like Ahab hunting Moby-Dick.

Trivia

• This level in the game's files is called "M10 Cosmic Realm B".
• In this level, there can also be seen dead Elemental Wraiths on the steps of the temple itself; the reason for their demise and presence here is unknown.
