{{Quotation|prophecies|Legends tell of a time, thousands of years ago, when the Crystal Desert was covered in water. These legends claim that it was the [[Gods of Tyria|gods]] who raised the land, leaving it bare and empty in order to give the solitary creatures of the world a place to call their own. If the legends are true, [[human]]s were not among those for whom this land was made. There have been attempts by humans to settle in the desert, but they have, without exception, failed miserably, leaving behind only the grand monuments they built here proclaiming their short-lived triumph over this harsh land.<br />
<br />
The weather in the Crystal Desert is hot and unforgiving. The winds blow hard, making and unmaking dunes, covering up the present and uncovering the past. An examination of the sand will reveal that each grain is actually a tiny, pointed crystal. In isolated locations, larger crystal formations have been revealed by the constant, unforgiving wind.}}<br />
<br />
Formerly the [[Crystal Sea]], the [[Crystal Desert]] was created shortly before the [[Exodus of the Gods]] in [[Mouvelian calendar|Year 0]]. It was formed alongside [[the Desolation]], also formerly a part of the Crystal Sea, when the Five Gods defeated [[Abaddon]]. The Crystal Desert connects to the southern continent of [[Elona]] and had at one point been ruled by the [[Primeval Kings]] of the southern continent. In the past, there have been at least four groups of humans attempting to settle in the land: the [[Margonite]]s, the Elonians, the [[Seeker]]s, and [[Ascalon]]ians.<br />
<br />
Despite mostly being arid and dry, the Crystal Desert has a few oases and deepened valleys holding vegetation. It is also riddled with giant statues of an ancient civilization, ruins of the failed [[Crystal Desert Elonian colony]], and large natural cliffs. In the center of the Crystal Desert lies the [[Mesa]], which houses structures seen elsewhere only in [[the Hall of Heroes]]. It is inhabited by a variety of [[insect]]s, [[Rider]]s, [[Drake]]s, [[Wurm]]s, the Forgotten, [[Losaru]] [[Centaur]]s, [[Hydra]], and the [[ghost]]s of those who died in the region.<br />
