About the Crystal The Mother Crystal. The Crystal. The Atlantean Power Crystal. The Heart. The Heart of Atlantis. So many names, Thousands of years ago, a comet passed near the earth. A piece of it fell from the sky. To quote an animation test, it was a "...Great blue star that came down from the heavens and filled our world with light!" It was this "star" that turned the people living on the small continent into the mighty Atlantean Empire. The people came to wear tiny pieces of it around their necks, their lifespans increased 300 fold. They learned to heal with the crystals. The Mother Crystal thus came to be worshipped as a deity. Effigies of deceased Kings were created to protect it. The Crystal thrived on the "emotions of those who came before us." Over the millennia it grew, developing a consciousness. In this way, the Crystal came to be alive. In time, Atlantis came to harness this power for other things. King Kashekim Nedakh grew ambitious, creating vehicles of war in the shape of sea creatures and weapons of mass destruction to expand his borders. It led to the "MEH-behl-moak," otherwise known as the Great Flood. It was the event that cost him his wife when she was taken by the Crystal. When danger arose, the Crystal would choose a host of royal blood to protect both it and the people it watched over. The Crystal would bond with the host, becoming mobile, and gaining the ability to activate the defenses of the city, the mighty stone giants, to raise giant shields of energy. This could only be the beginning of what it could do. A host bonded too long, however, was lost, never again to be seen by the average person. The late queen of Atlantis, Kida's mother, was lost this way, and it would only be Kida who would meet her again, "in whatever netherworld her consciousness was in." The queen sacrificed herself to it to save her people, the same way Kida did thousands of years later when the volcano erupted, threatening to destroy the city. It was the Crystal that sank Atlantis. It was the Crystal that raised it.
