Azalin's Crystal[1] is a crystal orb and artifact that belongs (or once belonged to) Azalin Rex of Darkon but was created by the Three Hags of Tepest.

Origin

Supposedly, he ordered one of his Kargat generals to go into Bluetspur and retrieve a piece of the Tree of the Hydra. After that, it was delivered (also on order by Azalin) to the Three Hags of Tepest for creation into special crystal orb with divination powers. The Three Hags finished their work, but the guardian of the crystal never returned.

Powers

Azalin's crystal may operate 3 times per day for an hour each. The orb is a power tool for scrying upon opponents and enemies, able to cast clairvoyance and ESP with the right command words (known only to Azalin). Its user may direct attacks or create telekinesis effects through the globe. The crystal's foreshadowing power may be used to determine knowledge of future dangers and their weaknesses.

Curse

A person activating Azalin's crystal may fall victim to the crystal's mindweb. Using the foreshadowing power requires a madness save.

Location

It is kept within the Black Vault. The Vault is currently part of Necropolis as it lies underneath the Grim Fastness.[2]
