End Crystals

Fractures Series
Storyline by Rainimator and the Production Team

The **End Crystals** (or **Ender Crystals**) are illusive End relics that amplify the powers of their wielders. The Crystals first appeared in *Ender Wish*, in the hands of the Ender Watchers, but were scattered throughout the realm to hide them from the Nether King.

They were being sought by both the Nether Horde and the Endstone Crusaders throughout the third season of *Fractures*, and by Lance through the entirety of the *War of the Ender Kingdoms*.

## Information

―Rainimator on Twitter

The End Crystals are large, violet object with a glass-like exterior surrounding it. They can levitate above podiums of bedrock positioned on Obsidian pillars - or in a person's hand - and are said to give The Dragon its power. They can also be harnessed by others with innate magic talent such as Stella and Klaus. They are however rather fragile and will cause a relatively huge wind blast upon destruction.

## List of End Crystals

### *Orchid Fleet* Crystals

During To The Void, three End Crystals were found and taken by the Orchid Fleet, which they used to traverse the void for new frontiers.

#### Rival Party End Crystal

The first crystal was guarded by Elise and her fellows on their island. Following Arabella's acquisition, the people on the island were left without their Crystal, which may have led to vacillation by Lance during the War of the Ender Kingdoms.

#### Rival Fleet End Crystal

It is likely the second crystal came from a small merchant fleet, of which Nikiti was apart of. Unlike the people of the islands, Nikiti's voidfairer allies were likely slaughtered by the Orchid Fleet.

#### Gloom Peninsula End Crystal

The final crystal taken by Arabella and her crew was a wild, untamed crystal in the Gloom Peninsula, which a young Ceris was attempting to gain. However, her forces were all but wiped out (including two Ender Dragons), yet she was left alive with an egg in return for her surrender.

### Ender Kingdom Crystals

Following the events of To The Void, the Ender Kingdoms would all be established, with each kingdom holding an End Crystal. However, Lance of the  Void Kingdom would become curious of their potential unition - likely through stories of the Orchid Fleet - and as such sought to conquer each kingdom to steal their crystals. This in turn spurned the War of the Ender Kingdoms, and the formation of the .

####  Void Kingdom Crystal

The crystal of the  Void Kingdom, found within the Void Islands. This crystal is the first one Lance got a hold on, with its status after the war unknown.

#### Lance's Spare Crystal

A secondary End Crystal held by Lance during *The Brave* and onwards. It is unknown where this crystal comes from, but it could just be a wild crystal, the crystal of the Shattered Blades Island (Arabella seemingly did not take her homelands crystal) or the crystal of the Chorus Bay (assuming Elise did not live there/its not the same crystal Arabella took).

####  Lavender Kingdom Crystal

The crystal of the  Lavender Kingdom, found within the Orchid City. This crystal is one of the first two Lance stole from other kingdoms, with its status after the war unknown.

####  Moon Kingdom Crystal

The crystal of the  Moon Kingdom, found within the Moon Kingdom Island. This crystal is one of the first two Lance stole from other kingdoms, with its status after the war unknown.

####  Gatekeepers Crystal

The crystal of the  Gatekeepers, found within the Gateways. This crystal is the first one chronologically to be destroyed, as the power of shutting of the Gateways overwhelmed it into shattering.

####  Lightborne Crystal

The crystal of the  Lightborne, found within the Lightborne Isles. This crystal's story is yet unknown, but was likely taken by Lance during the vassilation of its home kingdom.

#### Aeromancers Crystal

The crystal of the Aeromancers, found within the Aeromancers Enclave. This crystal's story is yet unknown, but was likely taken by Lance during the vassilation of its home kingdom.

####  Umbral Kingdom Crystal

The crystal of the  Umbral Kingdom, found within the Umbral Kingdom Island. This crystal's story is yet unknown, but was likely taken by Lance during the vassilation of its home kingdom.

#### Domain of the Endermite Princess Crystal

The presumed crystal of the Domain of the Endermite Princess. This crystal's story is yet unknown, but was likely taken by Lance during the vassilation of its home kingdom.

#### Domain of the Endermite Prince Crystal

The presumed crystal of the Domain of the Endermite Prince. This crystal's story is yet unknown, but was likely taken by Lance during the vassilation of its home kingdom.

####  Ender Watchers Crystals

This is for all crystals that belong to the  Ender Watchers, presumably kept after the events of the War of the Ender Kingdoms, becoming the *New Dragonspire* Crystal.

#####  End Witch Coven Crystal

The crystal of the  End Witch Coven, found within the End Witch Coven Island. This crystal's story is yet unknown, but it was supposedly not captured by Lance due to the factions affiliation with the  Ender Watchers.

#####  Dragon Tower Crystal

The crystal of the  Dragon Tower, found within the Dragon Tower. This crystal's story is yet unknown, but it was supposedly not captured by Lance due to the factions affiliation with the  Ender Watchers.

##### Endstone Deltas Crystal

The crystal of the Endstone Deltas. This crystal's story is yet unknown, but it was supposedly not captured by Lance due to the factions affiliation with the  Ender Watchers.

#####  Dragonspire Crystal

The crystal of the  Dragonspire, found within the Dragonspire Island. This crystal's story is yet unknown, but it was supposedly not captured by Lance due to the factions affiliation with the  Ender Watchers.

### *New Dragonspire* Crystals

After the events of the War of the Ender Kingdoms, the Ender Watchers came into possession of at minimum four End Crystals, which they guarded in New Dragonspire. Shortly after the Horde's invasion in Ender Wish, Zeganirn was tasked to hide the Crystals across the realm, which he was successful with during Falling, aided by Stella.

Note: These may be the same crystals as the Ender Watcher Alliance Crystals, however, this has not been confirmed.

#### *Eternal* End Crystal

The first of the four crystals was found by the Piglin Kingdom after the First Battle of the Far Plains. In *Eternal*, the Endstone Crusaders obtained this crystal by slaying the Piglin King and his forces.

The Crystal is now in the possession of the Frostbourne, being held by Azura and Nostra for research. Their research with it's powers has thus far created the Machine Golem, alongside the energy of a newborn Wither Star.

#### *Already Dead* End Crystal

The second of the four crystals was found and seized by Klaus' Clan. In Already Dead, Kane and Ciara tried obtain the crystal by visiting the Pillager Town, but were ambushed. Having no other choice for survival, Kane destroys Klaus' End Crystal.

#### *Preach To The Choir* End Crystal

The third of the four crystals was found in the Deep Dark and presumably taken by the Wardens. In Preach to the Choir, Rain, Stella, and Nostra managed to obtain the crystal and narrowly escaped the Wardens there. In the Lush Caves however, they were confronted by another Warden. Stella, using the power of the crystal, managed to knock it dead, but ended up exhausted and passing out.

#### *We are the Danger XL End Crystal*

The fourth of the four crystals was found in the Port City and taken by a Saltbourne civilian. In We are the Danger XL, at nighttime Kaia and the Wither Angels managed to steal it and used it to lure Azura into the Nether and attempt to kill her to avenge their fallen comrades in the Floating Isles. After an intense duel, Azura managed to kill Kaia, causing her Nether Star to be pulled out. However both didn't realize that during their duel, Zarkos' apprentice Wilburr nabbed the crystal away. After realizing it, Azura chased down Wilburr and tried to shoot the piglin, but was tackled by another piglin from behind. She missed and hit the crystal instead. The crystal then fused with Kaia's star, causing a shockwave that traveled throughout the Nether, reviving former Nether Star users such as Abigail Crysteffor and Kaia. Both artifacts were then destroyed after the fusion.
