The Crystal King
Born a mortal 2,950 years before faster-than-light travel broke. The Crystal King is now an Eldrich Titan which sits on a throne in an as-yet-unlocated asteroid belt. To stand before it is to know madness. Once every year, it drinks the blood of a tyrent King.
The Eldrich King-Beast rules over a happy little town of horrors called Darcasm. It cares deeply for the people of its rule, but stays locked away in its deepslate castle.
It is constantly locked in an ongoing romantic drama that has lasted over 2,916 years. The Crystal King is a cold but deeply romantic lover. His 9 wives (some exes, some current) all fondly remember its mortalembrace.
Darcasm is the mining capital of the galaxy, contining the deepest, most metal-rich mines in the whole galaxy. They say the veins of Darcasm are infinite and tied to Non-Euclidean magic. the Crystal King has supplied the galaxy with precious and semi-precious metals and stones. All silver from the Mines of Darcasm is alchemically nullified of the silvers reflective holy properties using an alchemical tarnish, rubbed onto the silver.
The Crystal King has collected the finest nobility to fill its court. All of them oversee a network of vampires and horrors. The Court has one constant primary goal: to deliver the Crystal King's yearly meal. The lesser Kings all arrive through the mechanisms of drama, madness, and ritual. They all stand casually before his throne, feast with him at his table, or and suffer paranoid panic attacks as they approach his castle yard and see him looking down from his balcony. The Crystal King drinks the blood of truely horrible kings; the court picks the worst king of the Fabled Galaxy each year and begins leading him on his path.
It feeds on tyrents with the coldest delight. Some say it is the true king of the Fabled Galaxy. In fact, the followers of The King call it the "Crystal Galaxy." Open call for stories where horrible kings die at the hands of the Crystal King!
