Adar crystals in laric

The [whatever we end up calling this] is a strange cluster of crystals by the road between Corso's Chasm and Bankton, somewhere in Laric. It is self-aware, but rarely seems to interact with others in any meaningful way.
The sole recorded exception was when The Party passed by while afflicted with the Astral Plague. Sensing the energy within them, the crystal manifested an illusory samurai to communicate with them and offer to take the energy from them. However, it could not do so without crushing it fromtheir physical forms, and once the mortals made clear that this would not be acceptable to them, they parted company.
The crystal seemed unaware that having a samurai attack mortals with a sword was painful for the mortals, or even particularly socially unacceptable, implying a lack of socialisation. It therefore seems likely that it developed sentience on its own, as opposed to having been created intentionally by the Adar.
