Home of the Konti people, this ivory city is built of native konti stone half in and half out of the sea. Its borders touch the Silverwood, and stretch upwards towards Silver Lake, home of the infamous konti vision water. [Lore]

[Location] The Crystal Cavern

DESCRIPTION:

Known to all Konti, but hardly ever spoken about, the Crystal Cavern lies about three chimes south from Mura at the coast of Silver Lake.

Soft, grassy hills lie in the south and tower over the calm water surface, thus it is necessary to climb down a few feet before one can actually enter one of the various entries to the cavern. In fact, what is called “Crystal Cavern” is an extensive system of caves connected by corridors and partly flooded with water due to its close proximity to the Silver Lake. Many caves consist of both dark stone ground and little ponds and waterfalls populated by the most beautiful algae, corals, starfish, jellyfish, fish and even the tiniest species of seahorses. All of those are barely colored, either of a milky white or luminescent, pale blues and greens because of the fact that Syna’s light almost never falls upon them in the depths of the caves. Many species have also learned to feel or hear their surroundings rather than see them or developed organs that produce a weak white light on their own. However, they reveal a special kind of beauty to the careful observer which comes from extraordinary shapes, pale shades and the ability to survive in complete and utter darkness.

But the most beautiful and name-giving feature of the cavern is its large occurrence of crystal. If one has brought enough light with them, they will soon notice glittering, lucent and sharp forms hanging from the ceiling and partly covering the walls of almost each and every single cave. Because water constantly drops from the pointed edges and runs down the walls, it has adopted a weak sparkle on its own that is washed out after some time of circulation. Thus vision water with a crystalline sparkle is a special phenomenon of the Crystal Cavern.

To the Konti, the it is an incredibly sacred place, believed to be touched by Avalis, the All-Seeing Mother Herself. Its peaceful atmosphere, the large amounts of vision water flowing through its canals, the crystal stalactites and the diverse fauna and flora have a soothing effect on visitors.

However, while the cavern isn’t officially forbidden to visit, few Konti tell foreigners about its existence. They feel that this place is a personal gift from Avalis to Her daughters, thus they will often find the presence of outsiders inside the cavern irritating, if not offending.


Mod NoteNon-Konti are required to seek moderation if they wish to visit the cavern. Please contact the local DS for further information.
