Queendom structure
Royal power in the Crystal Kingdom is tied to lineage, public trust, noble influence, and the expectations placed on queens and heirs.
Royal history in broad strokes
A murdered royal line and a stolen throne shape the present, but the exact answers behind old violence belong to the story itself.
Capital and towns
The kingdom includes centers of power and quieter places like River Town, where ordinary life is still touched by royal decisions.
Class tension and public crisis
Nobles and commoners experience the kingdom's instability differently, while the crystal plague makes political failure impossible to ignore.
