House of Crystal
1st of Sun's Swell, AE 721
The House of Crystal is a city-state located in the Free Cities of Axapotlan. Originally a starting as a slightly larger version of a Tiefling and Aasimar house, rather than being located in a larger city as houses often are, the House of Crystal was started more akin to a commune, featuring a handful of houses with communal living spaces surrounded by farmland and later on building a small dock and purchasing a boat to allow for fishing. Over the past two and a half centuries, it's grown to a bustling city and seaport.
Founded by House Father Cipactli and House Mother Aliya in AE 466.
Currency
Common gold pieces and related currency are accepted in the House of Crystal, but they also use their own currency known as laloni; they are square, bronze-colored metal coins with round holes through the center, most often carried on a braided loop of twine or rope. Those who pay for goods with laloni are always given better deals than those who pay with other currencies.History
The land the House of Crystal was built on was originally inhabited by a Couatl, Centlacolmetzcouatl. As a type of minor celestial, she guarded over the land and all beings which lived there. Upon being approached by Cipactli and Aliya and hearing their proposal, their hopes and dreams for what this community could be and do for others, she gave them her blessing to start building. Centlacolmetzcouatl has become a sort of patron saint of the city-state and has acted as both mentor and protector ever since.
