Curse of the Crystals

In the Elven Empire's largest coastal city, a Forest Elven bounty hunter called Itzal realizes that strange things are happening in the ranks of the guards. He decides to investigate it by diving head-first into trouble and eventually runs into a group of unnaturally strong enemies, some of which have small crystals implanted in their bodies.

Meanwhile, in the northern Human Kingdom, a medicine man named Ambrose finds a village where people suffer from a mysterious disease. He discovers that it can be traced back to a strange crystalline formation, the existence of which threatens the entire village.

Another crystal is causing issues in the capital of the Elven Empire, where it is making people fall into an odd sort of coma. When one of her servants falls victim to it, the High Elven noblewoman and scholar Maiara decides to take it upon herself to investigate what might be causing this

Not long after their successes, the three of them are gathered by a High Elven prince and sent out to investigate other crystal-related incidents. This leads them deep into the Forest Elven autonomous zone, where they are confronted with the politically sensitive situation regarding the area's growing resistance to the High Elven rule. They slowly start to learn more about the mysterious magic they are gifted with, but the origin of the crystals remains a mystery.
