The Crystal of Rafiel
Command: !campaign mystaraSetting: Mystara / Hollow World Unlock requirement: 10 standard campaign clears Difficulty: Higher than the standard gauntlet Cooldown: Shares the channel daily cooldown
Lore
Deep beneath the world of Mystara, in the lightless realms of the Shadow Elves, the sacred Crystal of Rafiel is failing. For centuries it has done more than guide — it has stabilized the Shadow Elves themselves, shielding them from the invisible corruption left behind by the ancient catastrophe known as the Great Rain of Fire.
Now it flickers. Priests report distorted visions. The Fourteen Verses contradict themselves. Some elves are mutating. Some are vanishing.
The rival Immortal Atzanteotl reaches through the dark, poisoning the Crystal's signal, slowly twisting an entire civilization into fanatic servants. The party must enter the Chamber of the Spheres, uncover the truth, and decide the fate of the Shadow Elves.
