Aayushi Zadim

Aayushi Zadim was a Gharzareen wizard and the nineteenth Crystalmancer. She completed her training with Crystalmancer Rosalie Engelsommer.
Once leader of the Cult of the Crystalmancer, she left the Oasis with her apprentice Alina Nyimbo, looking for new students beyond those from the House of Memory.
With the influx of students she brought, they used their immense powers to build a dome of crystal around the poor, crime-ridden city of Ninbar. Being bereft of leadership, the people desperately turned to them. They called Aayushi their Queen.
Thus began her savior complex. Ninbar saw great prosperity while under her rule, and she was much-loved. However, she spent less and less time at the Oasis and more time in the city or in Nieugarten.
Later in life she modeled herself after the Golden Goddess, forcing the gold growth over her body, poisoning herself until her pain drove her to desperation. She commanded Alina to kill her and lead in her stead, to avoid vanity as she had done.
When she died, the protective enchantment on the crystal dome broke. The sun burned homes, and the inhabitants fled. Alina turned away from them and returned to the Oasis.
