The Heart of Atlantis

"In times of danger... the crystal will choose a host… one of royal blood... to protect itself... and its people. It will accept no other. The crystal thrives...on the collective emotions... of all who came before us. In return, it provides power... longevity, protection. As it grew... it developed a consciousness of its own. In my arrogance... I sought to use it as a weapon of war...but it’s power proved too great to control. It overwhelmed us… and led to our destruction."

- King Kashekim Nedakh
