Description
This immaculately cut sixty-sided diamond fits in one hand, yet it contains an entire genie empire. The Calimemnon Crystal was made by high elf magic to imprison the notorious genie lords Calim and Memnon, who once ruled and warred over what is now Calimshan.
When viewed by a creature with Truesight, the normally beautiful diamond is a grotesque sight: trapped within the gemstone are more than a hundred genies, including the physical forms of Calim and Memnon. The genies scream and strain in agonized fury, pressing their belligerent faces against the walls of their crystal line prison.
