There is a backstory to it, I don't recall what it was however, was a very long time ago. Someone will have the answer, but I assure you it isn't there with no reason.

A negligible muddy village? It's Darconis, the largest Imperial city in Map 2.

The new version of Darconis no longer has the crystal. The city has been totally redone and now has a huge palace and the city surrounds the palace. And I don't know where you get the idea that it's a small village. The slums alone are 15 shacks, the Imperial part of the city are some 48 buildings and the Telvanni part is also some 20 buildings. The total is around 80 interiors. That's no village.

So I obviously had a look on the old version of Darconis

Palace?
In fact, I don`t count interiors. "Muddy village" was an expression for my impression, when visiting. I didn`t want to offend someone. I thought, this is not a place to dwell nor expect adventure here.
O.K. a lame apology.

I`m happy to hear that crystal vanished.

Ah.. Yes...
Well. Darconis was originally claimed in the older claim system to be a vampire city..
Kinda like Tear is suppose to be.
But darker.

However. When I took over it.
The overall history of the region we didn't find room to fit that.
Espesially the Imperial style of it all.
So I build the telvanni tower.
The crystal was an attempt by arcadea (I think it was him)
to remove the original dragon that clearly wasn't at home there in the new role of the city.
The imperial section of the city was redone later on.
I can't remember who did that but that was after my time.
I can't honnestly say I recall what the crystal was suppose to reprisent.
But I think it was just ment to be a replacement for the dragon statue.
If you don't bother with your past history. How do you know where your currently at? It's past what makes us who we are. And who we will be. Ignoring that, is ignoring who we are and where we're going.

I replaced the dragon statue with the crystals. It was suggested by another member of the team, possibly arcadea, but not really meant to be a permanent replacement. I believe it was eventually simply replaced with a tree.
