Crystal Lake City

While Owain sought to drown himself in the pleasures of the flesh to relieve the tensions of his failures, Ashlynn and Heila celebrated their recent victories in Crystal Lake City in very different ways. 

There were very few attractions that could draw outsiders to the sleepy city built by the Ancient Clan. When the flighty and animated Talauia had described it to Ashlynn, the city sounded as interesting as a stick in the mud. It wasn't until Jacques showed them a few of the local attractions that Ashlynn realized that being a stick in the mud wasn't an entirely bad thing.

"De Ancient Clan, she's filled with traditions dat are thousands of years old," Jacques had explained when they entered the city. "De way tings' happen here, everything dat people do, it's jus' like it was a thousand years ago and more. Not much new gets built here, but de places we have, dey get fixed up instead of tearing down and building new."
