Equitus Helca/Monarch’s Crystal

Steel Realms

This knowledge is considered RARE or even HIDDEN. It is not referenced by available texts of the Modern Age of the Steel Realms.

Throughout Helca, buried deep and in veins on the surface are massive plots of green crystalline structures known in the Imperium as “Equitus” and by the inhabitants of Helca as “Monarch’s Crystal” and a derivative crystalline structure known as “Luxite“. It is not truly understood what it is, and is difficult to find. Most races seem not to be able to detect it in any way except for the rare human or half breed. This is the origins of the aura that confuses long range detection of the atmosphere’s composition, keeping the planet from being noticed.

Forbiddance of Olde Ones

There are none on or bound to Helca. So great though is Helca’s power of order they have been physically repulsed, though they do come through dreams to influence the few on Helca with a desire for power and low scruples. Their drives are felt on all worlds, they interrupt the servants of higher powers, and corrupt anyone they can.

Woken World

It is known by all that the planet itself has some form of awareness. It manifests in different ways, but commoners swear that the northern lights have a shimmering woman’s face in them, and that whispers of the bounty of the coming year can be heard in her voice. Helca has an especially potent version of Monarch’s Crystal, and the entire planet has achieved a level of consciousness that it senses through using these crystals.

Spiritus of Helca: It appears as a shimmering green woman, with blurred features. Its manifestation cannot be harmed in any way on Helca itself. Its voice is soothing and “breath” is warm – it sounds like a woman’s voice overlaid with a windchime of crystals.
