Deep inside Fangwood lies the small town of Crystalhurst, a strange settlement of tree houses, caves, simple huts, and hard-packed earthen streets, all amid a serene setting of blooming flowers, towering trees, and babbling brooks. Wild animals wander the town, living peacefully with its residents, for Crystalhurst is ruled and governed by a circle of druids who dwelt in Fangwood long before Molthune claimed the region. The druids are more concerned with the constant threat of the Darkblight deep within the forest (see the entry for Fangwood) than they are with Molthune’s attempts to “reclaim” the forest, but they do count the people of Nirmathas as allies, and when called upon, the druids of Crystalhurst rarely deny their beleaguered neighbors aid in defending the region. Of course, this aid is provided not because the druid council that rules Crystalhurst feels any true allegiance to Nirmathas, but because they worry about what Molthune might do to their beloved woods if they reclaimed them—or worse, what an accidental Molthuni assault might release from the darkest and most dangerous reaches of Fangwood.
