Crystilan was a perfectly spherical demiplane which has kept the Thassilonian city of Xin-Edasseril trapped outside of time for more than ten millennia.1 Located on Peridot Isle in the Steaming Sea,2 its outward manifestation on the Universe was one of the most well-known Thassilonian ruins in Varisia. The crystal sparkled in the sunlight, making it easily visible for miles. Scholars long traveled there to study what could be gleaned of Thassilonian culture and copy the writing found on its many buildings. It was impossible to dig through the crystal, magically teleport, or call outsiders into the city.3451
After he awakened, Runelord Xanderghul devised an occult ritual which opened a portal from White Death's Diadem, in the realm of Frozen Tears in the Netherworld, to Crystilan.6
