Collection: May: The Crystal Desert

In May 2024, subscribers met the Crystal Desert.

The Crystal Desert is a moon-like landscape of wind-scrubbed boulders and wizened trees.  Instead of grasses and moss, the Desert grows gardens of stones. In the daytime, it is blanched by the sun.  Under starlight, its colors deepen into a jewel-toned vision. Those who wait and watch will eventually see the colors swirl into each other.  The stars begin to spiral. 

And then a procession of indescribable beasts emerges. They bear unfamiliar features: iridescent fur; extra pairs of legs; forked tongues, tasting the air; scaly wings. Here, an oversized mouse in lacquered armor, like an insect. Here, a lizard covered in thorns.

Everything seems to be in motion, vivid and trembling.

The Crystal Desert Box includes an abundance of beautiful objects; hints and additions to expand the story; a mysterious document; and a lore card.
