I've not traveled to areas others have mentioned, but beyond the two cities? That I've had time for. Alenroux, I hear, was afflicted by blight until Bonnie and company sorted that out. Still a bit of a monster problem at night, but not nearly so bad as it was, I'm told.

I've not heard anything noteworthy regarding crystals before.
