The realm of Ilkan is an ancient world consisting of a vast, lush jungle-like wilderness. But most of all, it also consists entirely of gigantic mountains made of crystals, hence the name the "Crystal Realm". There was once within that realm, a great city whose buildings were built as grand towering castles. There exists within the jungle, a giant sphinx-like monument known as the Temple of Ilkan built to honor the Crystal Realm itself and to house a pair of twin swords with an awesome power to open portals to other worlds. The people of Ilkan built their city and lived in a time of prosperity, especially as a wealthy civilization because the crystals here are only available minerals and valuable substances within the realm's landscape.
