Location of Crystilan's manifestation on Golarion.


Crystilan is a perfectly spherical demiplane which has kept the Thassilonian city of Xin-Edasseril trapped outside of time for more than ten millennia, since Earthfall.[1] Located on Peridot Isle in the Steaming Sea,[2] it is one of the most well-known Thassilonian ruins in Varisia. The crystal sparkles in the sunlight, making it easily visible for miles.

Scholars have long traveled there to study what can be gleaned of Thassilonian culture and copy the writing found on its many buildings. It is impossible to dig through the crystal, magically teleport, or call outsiders into the city.[3][4][5][1]

After he awakened, Runelord Xanderghul devised an occult ritual which opens a portal from White Death's Diadem, in the realm of Frozen Tears in the Shadow Plane, to Crystilan.[6]
