(Portrait of Crystal Seeker. Photo-editing by Longinus)

     Clad in a longcoat and wearing a fedora hat, Assistant P.I. Crystal Seeker of the Longinus Detective Agency has become a not too uncommon sight in certain circles as she handles various tasks for the Agency to free up Longinus's time for his academy.  From supernatural investigation to mundane secretarial work, she handles all tasks diligently with charm and professionalism.  She sports gemstone hued skin, golden topaz sparkling hair, ruby lips, and brilliant turquoise-emerald eyes.  Although most folk guess she is god-blooded, she won't hesitate to admit that she is merely a softly formed Mountain Folk in keeping with her servant's mien should the subject arise.

     Crystal Seeker is the premiere Artisan expert on the Great Geas amongst the MountainFolk.  No longer feeling she could continue her studies in the midst of the politics of the Conclave, she headed to Yu-shan and the East following visions and leaps of insight and inspiration.  She has asked any MountainFolk that want to support her efforts to donate to her cause...so far about 25 Warriors and 75 Workers have answered her call and support her work with their efforts.

The Cult of Ryudori:

     Ryudori has promised to aide in Mountain Folk prosperity.  The assumption is that he will help with finding a way to lift Autochthon's Geas, but undoubtedly the god has an agenda all his own.  Regardless, Crystal Seeker is a high priestess to him and can sometimes be seen wearing his circular holy symbol around her neck.  She shamelessly uses her standing to visit heaven for other agendas as well as service to the wealth god.

Dynastic Concerns:

     Ragara Ayesha hired Crystal during her first trip to the surface to produce artwork. In this case the work turned out to be a Resources 5 set of earings made out of the purest white jade and form into shells formed into roses, combining two sets of symbolism at once.

     Both Ragara Ayesha and V'neef Pasyra have given ideas over where some of Crystal's followers can make a small colony if they so choose.

     Crystal Seeker has postponed forming a colony until she can find a suitable local further distant from distractions ....such as Exalted.

Case 1: The Attempted Assasination of Mnemon Koal

     Although she doesn't have absolute proof, Crystal Seeker has collected a variety of evidence hinting that there might have not actually been an attempt to assault Mnemon Koal.  Whether this information will be kept discrete by the Agency is unknown at this time.

Case 2: Employment Negotiations

     Crystal Seeker often handles the more basic investigations and staff work that fall below Longinus's notice but are considered sensitive enough to need someone of her talents...like locating exalted companions to accompany the Exalted Sage on his journeys.

Case 3: Lunar Woes

     In this sad case, Crystal Seeker insisted as a priestess on investigating the attempted assasination of her god, Ryudori.  Her accidental revelations caused the mad devoured Clan Clan thing to reveal its monstrous self before its supposed husband Ryudori, shattering the illusion of their perfect relationship.

Case 4: Trinkets of Love

     Crystal helped Davon with ideas of gifts appropriate to give the love of his life, and how to obtain them.

Case 5: Missing Gizka

     A young man related to Great Forks nobility but a bit removed went missing as he was adventuring in the countryside.  Crystal backtracked his path to the small village of Innslandsmuth, which turned out to be a colony of Dark God Worshippers.  Unfortuneately, it turns out the young man had been sacrificed to the Leech Gods, but at least his family knows the truth.

Case 6: Resident Wyld

     Crystal Seeker and Elora Dana accidentally become trapped in an Age of Dreams experimental facility kept secret from the Solar Deliberative.  With the clock ticking down, they must repair the facility, cleanse it of infection so that a plague of wyld mutant zombie monsters won't reach the surface, and escape before the automated manse destroys them in an act of purification. (specialties in Deathtraps apply throughout the entire plot)

Case 7: Lumeria

     After her experiences in Innslandsmuth, Crystal Seeker believes she has descyphered the route to an underground place called Lumeria where it appears there might be some Mountain Folk in need of assistance...

Case 8: The Walking Dead

    Crystal and Longinus visit a town where it appears the dead walk and perform the activities of life, without  seeming to realize they are dead...

Case 9: Surface World Negotiations

     Lutar retained Crystal for negotiations with Ragara Ayesha to determine if the woman can be a legitimate ally whose offers should at least be considered, or a dangerous variable that could add chaos to the Mountain Folks lives.

Case 10: The Final Cases!!!

     Crystal's stable seeming world has been torn asunder.  She investigates Longinus's murder and the Academy's destruction.  Also the destruction at Chronopolis.  Are they connected? Due to Longinus's death, Crystal has only a single month to use her investigative abilities to aide what heros will seek justice for the fallen before she must retreat underground unless she can find a new Exalted patron of Longinus's caliber.

Case 11:  The Renewal, Investigating One's Own Actions

     Before she could proceed with what would most likely be her last investigations on behalf of Longinus as an aide to Hunting Mist before returning to normal politics underground, Crystal Seeker was called back to Urvar to defend her standing against subtle accusations planted by elder artisans in Lutar.  After intensive essence and mind probes by the Urvar police using powerful enchantments and artifacts that would have both impressed and disgusted Longinus with their invasiveness, Crystal Seeker was cleared of having any Exalted taint or influence from her time abroad as well as lacking any warning signs for the Chaos Pattern.  Crystal's stirring speech of how the changes in Lutar granted greater prosperity for her people in the long term by forcing innovation where stagnation had dominated won her much esteem in the eyes of other Artisans for her odd way of doing things, but failed to improve upon her image as a young idealist.  However, the process of reviewing and defending her interaction with "the surface" has convinced Crystal Seeker of the need to follow her visions and return to the surface world for a long stay again.  Perhaps, while White Shale found the wisdom of Autochthon in the deepest bowels of Creation, the next great visionary will stumble upon wisdom high upon Creation's face.  Only the Ages will tell.

Case 12: When the Scarecrow Reigns

     Crystal acts as an aide to a new organization in the East, serving under both Hunting Mist and "The Boulder".  In this case, a kingdom begins to fall apart as its people enter a state of catatonia and/or aggression while under the influence of a mysterious force, ruining prosperity for the region.
