Skybound Crown - A Recap
The Silver Lily’s expedition into the northern lands began simply. They were to explore the lands, from Abalathia’s Spine, to Dravania, and find new trade routes, assist the Ishgardians (begrudgingly), and properly chart and map the area.

However, all was not as it seemed as the first group, dispatched to the Coerthas Western Highlands, find a powerful crystal with an aspect of fire. Misplaced in the icy highlands, the group decided to bring it back for studies.
Later, as groups explored more and more, they found that these crystals were showing up all over the place. One even found it’s way at the peak of Sohm Al. Another fell into the hands of Goblins in the Dravanian Hinterlands.

These crystals were all uncommon for the area they were in, and roused normally docile creatures into powerful, rampaging monsters. Still, Silver Lily sought these crystals, and sought to know more.
After gathering all the crystals, they suddenly joined together, becoming a beautiful, yet over-aspected cluster. They called it “The Crown†and traced it’s unique aether signatures back to an area known as the Diadem.
Using their new found knowledge, Silver Lily took to the skies, entering the Diadem and learning it’s secrets.

The sky-islands, held captive and in orbit by a threateningly large crystal in the center, still hold more secrets. Yet still, the group found that it was true. The Crown had come from the Diadem. Those same over-aspected crystals were found all over the islands, and had the same effect on the creatures that inhabited the lands high above the realm.

The group, successful in creating another “Crown†soon found themselves in danger.
A rival group known as the Crimson Roses appeared suddenly, and, as if they had been following the members of Silver Lily, cornered the men and women of the group and snatched the crystals before they could retaliate.Â
The Crimson Roses baited the group to follow them into Azys Lla. Knowing full well that it would be a trap, Silver Lily prepared for a trip to Azys Lla.

The neon-green colored skies spelled danger for Silver Lily, as they were met with resistance from strange beings made of pure aether. Though they held some semblance of man, they had no face, no expression. Yet their cries of anguish were heard loud and clear.

The Crimson Roses had succeeded in trapping the Silver Lily members, and baiting them to fight. One of their own used the power of the Crown to transform themselves into, what was likely, a primal of great power. The name of this primal is yet unknown to the group. Still, Silver Lily pressed on.
Tattered, bruised and seemingly beaten--if only for a moment--Silver Lily triumphed, using the power and quick thinking of their members, the primal was slain and a de-aspected cluster was returned to the group.
However, the nearby Garleans and a special guest-- Proto-Ultima zeroed in on their commotion. Quickly boarding their airship: The Gilded Rose, the group made way for home, and some much needed rest.
