Spiral Island Earthquakes / Crystal Convergence
When powerful earthquakes rock the The Spiral Islands, the magically infused land cracks and crystals are spat out into the waters of the island, this unleashes a unique phenomenon that brings a touch of beauty amid the destruction. These glowing crytals eventually find their way around the world, as they're carried by the currents. Over time, these magical-infused crystal shards detach from the currents, though it's not exactly known what happens to those crytals. One thing is for certain, is that the spectacle lasts for months before finally fading, and it could potentially be a lifetime before the next major earthquake disrupts the islands.
People from all corners of the world gather in port cities, hoping to catch a glimpse of this spectacle from the safety of the land. Enterprising captains seize the opportunity, offering their ships for a fee to passengers eager to experience a closer encounter with the crystal currents. The vibrancy of the crystals illuminates the sea, creating a mesmerizing display of kaleidoscopic patterns reflected in the water. Those who are magically inclined, or know when they spot a perfect opportunity to profit, also board their own boats, these however, are not inclined to do business as a tourist ship. They take fishing ships and cast their nets into the waters, pulling in fish and crystal alike, selling it all for a tidy profit.
The treacherous waters surrounding the Spiral Islands make them difficult to access, and the origin of the crystals falling into the ocean remains a secret to most. Starmist Goblins, known for being rather tight lipped about their own homeland, prefer not to divulge the details. The amount devastation brought on by the earthquakes are ample enough reason for some starmist goblins to leave their homeland.
While the source of the crystals remains a mystery to the majority of other civilizations, only a select few are aware that the deposits in the ocean's depths combine under the immense pressure. Fewer still know that these crystal amalgams are growing in strength, their magical energy seeping into the surrounding environment and impacting the local fauna and flora, this particular phenomenon is known as the Crystal Convergence. The Manane Houans have been particularly affected by this occurence.
