Crystals

The Crystals were a religion and political organization founded in Lobexon around the year 1500 AD.

Language

The early Crystals had adopted the Gold language which had come to them about a thousand years earlier as Lobexon was being settled by light-skinned colonists from the other side of what came to be known as the Gold Sea. In this time period, the known world was ruled by Nama, and Nama granted military protection to any tribe that had its own language. This incentivized tribes to adopt a new language, even if it hindered communication with friendly neighboring tribes. In the case of the Crystals, they adopted the Gold language because they identified themselves as a transnational religion and did not want to be thought of as simply another tribe among many in Lobexon.

Over thousands of years, the Crystals developed their dialect of the Gold language into Khulls.

Culture and sociolinguistics

The Crystals considered themselves to be feministic pacifists. They believed that they could overcome the masculine powers around them by practicing "feminine diplomacy" and avoiding war.
