It is said that beyond the Eastern border of the Southwestern Bellows, there lies a toxic wasteland; a region poisoned by an unknown and forgotten people. According to legend, rare and exquisite crystals can form under the right circumstances in these lands—the precise amalgamation of baneful chemicals, weird intentions, and nightmares—coalescing into something beautiful.
These wasteland-formed crystals are highly prized and coveted by the Type-5 Draconians of the Dragonmask Tribe who often use these crystals to enchant their weaponry with unspeakable terrors. In addition to their destructive qualities, these rare specimens can likewise be used to make exotic love potions and charms that ward against toxic relationships.
