Crystals

[bilbous]

If there is the Blue crystal above shedding its light and whatever and the Dark Crystal in the DR doing whatever it does, does that mean there are yet to be discovered (unimplemented) Crystals for the other Ways?

[emeraldfool]

It's an azure Crystal above us. Yet I'm pretty sure that it's the Crystal Way that is directly associate with the Azure Sun.

In fact, I thought I heard that all magic stems from the Azure Sun, and that all the different Ways are just variants of its power.


But I dunno...

The fans of Babylon 5 weren't being corrected or punished for going outside Babylon 5's settings. We are.

What is the Dark crystal then which the guys in the DR talk about?

It might just be the thing that powers the various magical portals and/or anything else that needs powering (for example, where is the light coming from?). Kind of a DR version of the Azure Sun.


Doesn't necessarily have to do with the Dark and Azure Ways. The Settings team haven proven time and time again that they hate neat packages and cliches (as shown by their odd choice in Way/Bar colours, Yliakum as a massive stalactite, stone golems as PCs, etc.)

Well of course you are right it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with it but it might and these are things which have not yet been revealed or even possibly yet decided. It would not surprise me that having two significant crystals in the small portion of the world currently developed there might be more once the final shape becomes apparent.

I give you permission to make sense, starting... now.

Yes, but at the same time why the insistence on everything being black and white, set in stone, canonized and known?

We are not discussing irrelevancies of an event of a dead series here we are discussing the meaning of things in game and what they might mean to future development. If you don't like it then: Shut Yer Yap, Kid.

It's too bad you don't understand the connection between your questions and the anecdote.  Your loss.

The light in DR comes from the flame torches scattered about. The light that the crystal over head gives off, i have always sort of imagined that it is light shining through from what ever is on the otherside. i.e. a whole other world,,

Can't you two behave yourselves for more than 5 seconds? You keep this up and you'll both be feeling my belt on yer backsides

I remembered your anecdote perfectly ('cause I thought it was amusing, and I have a knack for remembering what people say even 5 years after they say it), and I've already pointed out why there isn't much of a connection.

We're expected to exist in a world we know next to nothing about. We need to know how the world works, at least. I mean, whether or not the users of magic draw their power from specific crystals or not is kind of important, especially considering we're supposed to know how to invoke this power and do amazing things with it...

Amazing or horrible.. depends on what you prefeer to do

But still i as well as many other wonder what to make of the dark crystal!
tough it feels stupid to ask straight after a semi-decent RP involving it...

At the same time, there are mysteries and that's ok.

[Tabasco_Lyaph]

indeed you are so right mysteries is what we need more of.. still we need to know our bounds whitin the mysteries
