The Crenshinibon, also known as The Crystal Shard, is a major antagonist of R.A Salvatore's The Legend of Drizzt, serving as one of the three overarching antagonists The Crystal Shard and Streams of Silver (along with Dendybar the Mottled and Pasha Pook), a secondary antagonist of Passage to Dawn and A Silent Blade, and one of the main antagonists (alongside Hephaestus; as the Ghost King) of The Ghost King. It is also a major antagonist in the Sellswords trilogy, serving as one of the two main antagonists (along with Rai-guy Bondalek) of Servant of the Shard. It a powerful magical artifact created by seven liches who harvested the power of the sun in order to create it. After absorbing the liches, the Crenshinibon gained a malevolent sentience. Upon arriving on the Material Plane, it would be wielded by a variety of different people, who it would empower and manipulate. It is also a secondary antagonist in the Icewind Dale videogame, as the supporter of the devil Belhifet.

Appearance[]

The Crenshinibon was a ten-foot-tall glowing greenish blue crystal. However, it could make itself smaller to be held in one's hand, or turn itself into Crystal-teerith, which was a massive tower. Upon its destruction, the Crenshinibon revealed its true form, which was the ghosts of seven skeletal liches and one sultan. When it was part of the Ghost King, it became a smaller crystal sticking out of the dracolich's head.

Personality[]

The Crenshinibon had a very alien intelligence; the result of being made up of eight different souls. Seven of these were power-hungry and controlling liches, and the eighth was king who was forced to watch his family killed by his enemies and see his life's work destroyed. This combination of megalomania and trauma turned the Crystal Shard into an emotionally twisted entity.

The Crenshinibon sought power over and subjugation of all living things. It enjoyed giving different creatures the motivation and ability to lead genocidal and bloody conquests. It was exceptionally good at manipulation, showing its wielders images of their greatest desires, and pushing them along the violent paths to achieving them. Even if a person tried to fight the artifacts influence, once it was in their head, it could twist their thoughts to its ends. Although it only directly spoke to anyone for the purposes of manipulation, it had a surprisingly strong self-preservation instinct, and would panic at the thought of its destruction.
