Krystal'ar

A race of sentient and animated crystals. When they are young they grow in clusters and hum with energy. When they mature they sprout arms and legs, and become a humanoid like crystal being. They are highly artistic and musical, their entire language is song. To speak their language plainly, without song, is considered a grave insult and will often result in either fights or a near lifetime grudge. They take their language and song near deathly serious.

They grow crystals as well which are not sentient and it is from these that the Dragonking of old created their crystaline technologies. But also, when the Krystal'ar pass, they become a crystal that contains all of the deceased's knowledge. Which is accessable by spending a single mote of essence.

The race is all essence users, they are not as numerous as the Dragonkings were, but they still have a number of citys out there. Limited contact is still being held with one of their nearby settlements.

The language is practiced in Rivarah mostly by artisticly inclined people. Its seen as THE language of the cultural elite.

The race also is known to have an devestating ability to channel massive bursts of essence that can devestate would be attackers if they sing together in a chorus.
