Memorial crystals

Formed only when a god dies, and kept by the Guild of Suffering: the queen's necklace at the masquerade is a memorial crystal for Apito, which Prepotente calls impossible, since as far as anyone knows the goddess is not dead; Emberus's quest is updated to obtain it, and a Curupira ranger named Osvaldo carries it off.

A crystal for a living god and one for a slain one: the pantheon.

First appears: Book 5

Series arc

As of book 6. Kept by a guild and made by a dead god in book 5, one of them for Apito, who lives, on a queen's neck and then in Osvaldo's hands; in book 6 Pater Coal confirms Apito's exists, Osvaldo wears it on the recap, and one is generated for Ysalte for a future floor. Emberus's quest still wants Apito's.

Through book 5

Kept by a cult, not a real guild or church (B5 ch. 8); made by a dead god, per Mordecai (B5 ch. 69); the queen's necklace, a crystal for Apito who is not dead, carried off by Osvaldo (B5 ch. 77).

Through book 6

Pater Coal: one exists for Apito, who lives (B6 ch. 18); Osvaldo wears it on the recap (B6 ch. 27); one generated for Ysalte, for a future floor (B6 ch. 69).

By book

Memorial crystals in book 5 — The Butcher's Masquerade

Kept by the Guild of Suffering (ch. 8); Mordecai on soul crystals mined from Scolopendra's lair and memorial crystals made by a dead god (ch. 69); the queen's necklace, a crystal for Apito who is not dead, carried off by Osvaldo; Emberus's quest updated to obtain it (ch. 77).

Memorial crystals in book 6 — The Eye of the Bedlam Bride

Osvaldo looted Queen Imogen's, and Carl and probably Prepotente have quests for it (ch. 5); Pater Coal: memorial crystals form only when a god has died, yet Apito lives — investigate, and neither Katia's crossbow nor Donut's bracelet can be explored without it (ch. 18); Osvaldo wears it round his neck on the recap (ch. 27); one is generated for Ysalte, for a future floor (ch. 69).
