Yay! \o/


I don't have crystal as a significant concept in my setting. I was thinking of including it as part of the architecture of the city where the first story begins. Something along the lines of "slender spires of marble and crystal" to set the mood. It's in a desert region and I'm thinking it could provide some nice imagery.
