The Crystal Crownlands

Cities

Here we will show the maps of the kingdoms, duchies and lands throughout each of the ages.

Grunaga Bita

Translated to Grunaga’s Bite or Grunaga’s Rip Apart, many believe this was the largest of the four strongholds. With Pulpin’s direct descendants all living here. It is also believed to be the only stronghold at the time that allowed outsiders within its upper layers to buy goods directly from a minor caste of elderly who could no longer complete there craft. What was notable about this stronghold besides its direct relations to the founder of the race, is that the mountain itself was made of this dark oily rock that, when tasted by a young explorer, was depicted as bitter and acidic.

Eldi-Stokkr Godga (EL-dee-St-o-ker God-ga)

Translated roughly to common to mean “Burning wood Blasphemy”. A fortress that would trace its lineage to a crystal giant and cloud giant mix. This unique fortress was founded with Pepin’s blessing by a distant cousin of his. And would gain its name for a great fire that happened at its base after a young apprentice had lit a torch during a particularly hot summer. Though this stronghold would uniquely house the largest of the treant population. And was noted to be rich with iron veins and iron in its dirt. Giving it the secondary name of Red Mountain for its reddish orange dirt that covered the majority of it when the skies where clear.

Hoela Skala-Endi (Hoe-La Ska-La-end-ee)

Roughly translated to “Praise End of Hall” in common. This mountain was the smallest of the four and housed the lowest population. The elderly who had no family left in their strongholds were said to come here to take care of those where orphaned in conflicts. Thus passing their name and craft onto the children in hopes of rebuilding there family name. This mountain was known to have created the grandest of items ever seen amongst the nation. Though it would take years of work before a single piece would come from the stronghold.

Vagr Vigvollr (Vag-er Vig-vo-lore)

Translated into common as “Bay Battlefield” is noted to be the only mountain to have an underground river that allows access from the main river to the west. Thus making it both the scene of many raids, and the continuous flow of adventurers or merchants looking for a quick deal. Thus leaving many who inhabit this fortress to be well trained in combat even with their meek frames.

Nobility

Here we shall discuss notable noble houses through the time periods.

King Pulpin

Though noted as not truly a king, the crystal giants believed in a spiritual way that Pulpin was their guide to a better life. Leaving many to declare him king, without his knowledge. King Pulpin was translucent of skin, and was noted for being half the size of his brothers. He had a slight green hue to him, and with bright emerald eyes he sparkled under the moonlight. However, his dainty appearance was not accurate to his ability. As when he was found working at a forge, the materials would sing out in a symphony that could be heard for miles. It is said to have driven any who heard it to tears for the sadness of the song being overpowering.

Religious beliefs

Here we shall discuss the different religious beliefs in this kingdoms history throughout the periods.

Events/Holidays

We shall begin to discuss notable holidays and events in this kingdom. Explaining further on where they come from and what goes on during them.

Viduligr Rynstr (Vid-ul-ger Ren-ster)

Translated roughly into common to mean “Grand Craft”. This was believed to be a celebration when someone would die as they finished their last item. This item would be put on display as a “clan heirloom” and would be forever on display until the family line died out and the items would be sold. However, upon the completion of a Grand Craft, the entire family would spend several days celebrating all the works the deceased had created. This was considered the greatest honor a family could offer to those who had passed on.

Reka (Re-ka)

Translated into common to mean “Sent into exile”, this was a time of sadness as a family would die off thus exiling them from the stronghold itself. The crafts that had been looked on as heirlooms would be sold out into the world. And if no children could take up the name of the deceased family, the clan would give the space in the stronghold to a new young couple to start a new family. Thus erasing any trace of the one before them. This was also something used when an individual had committed a crime grand enough that the stronghold would not allow them to stay any longer. Though this was extremely rare, there are notes of it found throughout history that explain why crystal giants would later spread out vastly across the world.

Economy

Here we shall discuss the unique economics of different nations as needed.

Economic Status

The current noted treasury value of the nation through raw resource development

Raw Treasury

With a raw treasury of 1,000 diamond coins, 1,000 ruby coins, and 5,000 sapphire hills.

Coal Mines

Currently producing 750lbs of coal a day valued at 750 Diamond coins a day in production, with expected 1,000,000lbs of coal in the ground still valued 1,000,000 diamond coins.

Noted for annually producing 20 to a 100 adults, each is noted at 5,000 ruby volcanos coins for a male, 10,000 ruby volcanos coins for a female. Giving an annual value of 100,000 to 1,000,000 ruby coins.

Coins

Here we shall find how the coins look, what materials they are made of, and what the value of the coins are on the overall market.
DIAMOND CROWNS The first coin that replaced the common platinum that the dragons used for its shininess. Giants though, are not dragons, thus the more common material of liquid diamonds would be harvested from the cores of the volcanoes in the heart of the magma as it was believed. This material would be farmed to make coins and other magical items.
RUBY VOLCANOS Believed to be equivalent to the gold piece commonly used by the lesser nations including dragons. Thus the Jotun-Modr pioneered the coin in the shape of their homeland to be used by those sworn to them. These simple coins are individually 5cm by 5cm like the other coins, however it is clear and seems to sparkle from its craftsmanship only possible by the Jotun-Modr who individually made each coin.
SAPPHIRE HILLS Sapphire hills were thinner coins due to there higher rarity, though most giants valued sapphires less then rubies and only slightly more then emeralds. Thus most recognized this simple hill drawn with sheep grazing into the individual sapphires as a silver coin.
EMERALD PLAINS Lastly and most common in the Jotun-Modr volcanos were emeralds. As the material was farmed simply from their individual Rok-heap herds. Thus simple grass would be carved into the coins as apprentices practiced there arts on the coins.

Trade Goods

Here you shall find the trade goods this race has on offer in the nations they inhabit.

CUSTOM CRAFTS

Being the only nation to unusually specialize in custom crafted orders or pieces of legend that are sold as grand inspirations. It is believed that the jewelry, armor, shields, and staffs to come out of the crystal giants mountain stronghold are legendary each in their own right. It is also believed that the items created by the crystal giants have a liveness to them that evolve overtime.

ANCESTRAL ITEMS

Being one of the only races that seems to have a complete understanding of the arcane of ones body. Many ancestral items have been custom ordered by the other leaders and nations. These items are said to be able to grow with each wielder of that bloodline. Making these items extremely powerful and also semi unpredictable. However, it is noted that the items where crafted to specifications beyond the means of a normal smith. Thus causing many to believe the items to be sentient.
