Humanity pretenses to unity but in some places the legacy of their bloody history and bellicose nature lives on. In Crystalline Battalion, the ghosts of ancient humans slumber (if they are lucky) in the form of weapons and armor. Long ago the First King worked to unite humanity under his rule. His was a vision of prosperous cities, unified laws, and a singular human culture that would dominate Corona, and perhaps, the world.
He would not live on to see his dream to fruition. His spirit lies bound to an axe deep within the blood crystal strewn wilds of this strange and dangerous kingdom. It is a place frequented by ghosts bereft of purpose or reason. It is not, however, a place without hope. A Brave knight may yet rally these wayward ghosts and give them purpose and perhaps form.
While most sane folk avoid the place due to it's strange and hostile nature, brave magi and priests have founded a small community and seek to exploit, soothe, adopt, or otherwise interact with the spirits that call this place home.
