Crystallos, Lair of the Awakened

Secrets of Faydwer – Unfolding the Lore: Part 9 Crystallos, Lair of the Awakened

Kerafyrm the Awakened, mightiest of the prismatic dragons, feels the world has gone awry with the passage of time and that things are not as Veeshan intended. As the great black dragon Kildrukaun prophesied, Kerafyrm believes that the time has come for him to take decisive action. It is time for Norrath to once again belong to dragon kind. Kerafyrm plans to recreate the world to abide by his laws and be prosperous only keeping those creatures he needs to begin again.

Within Kerafyrm's lair Crystallos are the Old Disciples of Kerafyrm, a faction of followers dedicated to serving the prismatic dragon. After Kerafyrm was imprisoned in Sleeper's Tomb, these servants came to Crystallos and constructed a Keep to serve as a gathering place for all those who follow him.

Construction was overseen by the 4 Ancient Dragons that are most loyal to Kerafyrm: Kildrukaun the black dragon prophet, Tjudawos the golden arch mage, Zeixshi-Kar the silver general, and Vyskudra the storm dragon.

The Keep is built to survive attacks from the other factions of Dragonkin. There are many different types of creatures found here: Dragons, Wurms, Wyverns, Drakes, and Golems. Any follower of Kerafyrm is welcomed, as long as they help defend the Keep from attacks.

The main defensive mechanism of the keep is magical. A barrier made up of energies stolen from the 4 elemental planes surrounds the it. The barrier is attuned to Dragonkin and repels them completely if they are not already loyal to Kerafyrm. There still remains a slim hope for those determined to thwart The Awakened - mortals may be able to slip through the barrier given the right preparations.
