Requirements
Roving Elves
69 Mining
67 Farming
65 Woodcutting

Accommodations
The small strip of land south of Port Tyras would be extended further south. More trees and rocks should be added to this area to make the forest denser.

The area with the series of 10 jail cells on the second level of the underground pass would have a small shed added. Inside is a skeleton sitting on a chair, the former jail keeper. The tool rack inside provides infinite spades, infinite buckets and a single hammer. You can strip the shed of up to 20 planks if carrying a hammer; sadly the nails are bent and rusty.

Prologue
When Zamorak travelled the lands, looking for suitable guardians to ensure the continuous seal of the beacons, he came across a young and ambitious crystalchanter, Eirwyn. Zamorak immediately saw her potential and disguised himself as a random traveller, to give her the Thorn Diamond, pretending to want to help her with her art. Eirwyn used the power of the Diamond, to create her deadly masterpiece.

The Mirror
Callum grasped the frame of the mirror with both hands, staring into the blank glass surface. Slowly Callum’s vision began and to blur, he shifted his hands to get a better grab on the frame, but stung himself on the thorns of the rose, growing up the mirror. The pain broke his concentration him, and the faint image of a forest disappeared, leaving Callum staring at his own annoyed looking reflection.

Callum returned, wearing gloves, and placed his hands on the frame once again. Slowly his vision began to blur and he felt light. Slowly, a forest replaced his reflection, the edges blurry like if he was dreaming. Callum soared over a random (but recognisable) part of the elven forest, Isafdar; he noted important details so that he could find it again. Suddenly a small sparkle in the undergrowth caught Callum’s attention, and whether it was by his will or the mirror’s, he soared towards it.

Slowly he came closer and closer to the source of the sparkle. A small flower made of crystal, partially covered with dirt. Suddenly Callum returned to reality and gasped, he felt like waking up from a dream. He couldn’t make a connection between the small crystal flower and the Diamond, but it was his only clue, so he had to visit Isafdar.

The Search
Callum travelled to Isafdar and found the location he had seen in the mirror. (If Callum was a little forgetful, he could gaze in the mirror as many times as he may wish to imprint himself the location) He found the small Crystal Flower partially covered in dirt, and picked it up, cutting his finger on one of the many sharp edges and dropping the Flower.

Callum returned, this time wearing gloves, and picked up the Crystal Flower. He thought that it might hold some kind of clue to the Diamonds location, but if it held a clue, he couldn’t find it. The Flower was clearly the work of a crystalchanter, so much he could tell. So decided to seek out another crystalchanter, to see if she could tell him more. Eluned knew nothing about the Flower, she could confirm that it was indeed the work of a crystalchanter, but her knowledge stopped there.

Callum went to see Ilfeen; she could very well be his only hope to solve the mystery of the Crystal Flower. As soon as Callum showed the Flower to Ilfeen, her expression changed and she was visibly touched by it. Callum asked if she recognised it, though her expression told that she did. Then Ilfeen began to tell her story.

“The Flower was made long time ago, by an elf named Eirwyn. Eirwyn and I were both of the Ithell House, though not blood-related. We were mentored by the same elf and were friends. While I found joy in the details and in the process, Eirwyn wanted to make things bigger, wilder, and always sought to push the limits of her abilities. Then one day, she was gone. Our teacher forbade me to mention Eirwyn. Although we had been friends, I slowly forgot about her, until you brought me the Flower.”

Ilfeen was curious, how Callum had found the Flower. Callum had a feeling that he shouldn’t tell her about his quest and lied, he had just found it while strolling through the forest. He asked Ilfeen if she knew where he could find Eirwyn, because he wanted to give her the Flower back. “Sadly I have no idea where you could find her, although I doubt she crossed the mountains nor the sea”

Callum began his search for Eirwyn. He went as far north as he could, north of Prifdinnas; he went as far south as he could, to the brink of the Poison Waste; he went east until stopped by the mighty mountains of Arandar; and he went west, until the mighty ocean replaced the ground.

Another trap was set off and Callum ate another piece of food. He was just about to give up; Eirwyn had disappeared from the surface of the earth.

For the first time in a very long time, Callum found himself in unfamiliar surrounding, a small strip of land just south of Port Tyras. Squeezed in between the Poison Waste and the Ocean, and with no notable features, it was no wonder he had never been there before. Suddenly a small reflection of sunlight caught Callum’s attention.

Apparently a crystal object was buried in the ground. Callum used his hands to clear away dirt, and it soon became clear that the object was much larger than he had first expected. He was forced to stop clearing dirt with his hands, due to trees and rocks. But Callum didn’t give up, finally he had had found something, and wouldn’t let a little scenery stop him.

Callum returned armed with pickaxe, hatchet, spade and buckets, lots of buckets. He used his pickaxe to break up rocks and used the buckets to move the gravel away from his “Excavation Site”. He cut down trees, and dug up their stumps, and removed them. Filling bucket after bucket with dirt, he slowly revealed the mysterious crystal object.

After much hard worked, Callum had uncovered something, although he was unsure what something was. It was a huge plate of crystal, 6 paces in diameter, buried in the ground. It could be a hatch, or maybe a lense. Callum was convinced that there was something beneath it, though the facets of the crystal distorted his vision, and prevented him from seeing what lied below.

Callum raised his pickaxe above his head, and with a sound like, well, runite against crystal, he smashed his pickaxe to uselessness, without leaving a scratch in the crystal. It seemed that Callum had to pay Nurmof a visit and a small sum of gold. Afterwards he had to find out how to open, if necessary, destroy the crystal hatch, or was it a lens?

The Key

???????

We've come to expect that of you!

I made Neurosha, with something to work from admittedly, in under 2 weeks. Ruy, hop to it!

Well, there's tons of excuses, but I won't bother you with those. I'll see if I can speed the process up from nothing to a slow trot. However, there is a lot of backstory to consider and I have some issues I want to improve before even beginning to write.
