Deep in the goblin tunnels, a particularly mischievous creature has been watching the world of crystal with great interest.

If you ever find yourself explaining crystal to a goblin, stop immediately. You are giving them ammunition.

Your explanation of crystal will be burned for warmth in a goblin cave within the week.
