	The crystal forest on the jagged plain of [[The Broken Lands]] is implicitly a large cluster of crystyl entities. These were in the same category of "other standard" extra-planar creatures in the [[Rolemaster\|source material]] used for the other works of [[Uthex Kathiasas]]. Similar to the [[magru]], [[hoard]], and [[giant fog beetle\|giant fog beetles]], crystyls were notorious for infesting random planes or simultaneously existing in multiple worlds. The crystyls could not be summoned or controlled. However, they enjoyed adding gemstones to themselves as they were each unique in appearance, and would willingly trade information for gems.

	The following is what the crystyls look like on the jagged plain. There seems to be no way to interact with it, and telepathy does not work in The Broken Lands. It is impossible to "reach out with your senses" outside the workshop, because "something seems to be blocking them." When you are too close to the crystal dome transportation magic ~~like~~ [[Spirit Guide (130)]] stops working. These factors interfere with the possibility of communicating with the crystyls, and perhaps even keep them bound to this plane of existence, which may explain why they have become a whole crystal forest.

			The crystal forest of crystyl entities may correspond to the "gigantic neighbouring prism-clusters" in [http://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/dwh.aspx "The Dreams in the Witch-House"], which is a Lovecraft story possibly relevant to [[Castle Anwyn]] that is similarly themed to [http://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/tgsk.aspx "Through the Gates of the Silver Key"]. Shortly after the story mentions Azathoth and Nyarlathotep, the climactic figures from the "Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath", it describes a dreamed otherworld scene identical to the jagged plain: ''"Gilman was half-involuntarily moving about in the twilight abysses with the bubble-mass and the small polyhedron floating ahead, when he noticed the peculiarly regular angles formed by the '''edges of some gigantic neighbouring prism-clusters'''. In another second he was out of the abyss and standing tremulously on a '''rocky hillside''' bathed in intense, diffused green light. He was barefooted and in his night-clothes, and when he tried to walk discovered that he could scarcely lift his feet. A '''swirling vapour hid everything but the immediate sloping terrain from sight''', and he shrank from the thought of the sounds that might surge out of that vapour."'' The Hoard might be cross-referenced with the mud footprints of something trans-dimensional in that story.
