A '''Salve Crystal''' is a piece of crystal from the mainland of [[Dragonwilds:Gielinor]] that is known to have properties against [[Dragonwilds:undead]]. It is given to the [[Dragonwilds:Player|players]] by [[Dragonwilds:Doric]] as a reward when completing [[Dragonwilds:Seeking Salvation]]. This Crystal is required for the creation of the [[Dragonwilds:Salve Amulet]]. Players can obtain more by buying it from [[Dragonwilds:Death (Grim Reaper)|Death]] after Seeking Salvation is completed.

== History ==
According to the Salve Amulet's journal, the crystal was brought to [[Dragonwilds:Ashenfall]] during the [[Dragonwilds:Third Age|third age]] by Saradominists priest, cultivating it on Ashenfall's soil by utilising the natural magic infusing everything. With the amulet having properties against the undead, the [[Dragonwilds:Dragonkin (race)|dragonkin]] [[Dragonwilds:Lacrussa]] was fascinated with it, stealing the recipe for its creation and hid it within her vault. The Crystal was used when she had found something buried within the earth that would twist and reanimate the dead, before [[Dragonwilds:Fellhollow]]'s undead infection. The amulet helped her fend off against the undead from overrunning her lab, that is until she met her end by [[Dragonwilds:Kuldra]].

* While it is said that a Salve Crystal was transported from the mainland to Ashenfall, the crystal did not receive any power until the [[Dragonwilds:Fourth Age]], when {{RSL|Lowerniel Drakan|Lord Drakan}} and his {{RSL|Vampyre (race)|vampyre army}} were sealed within {{RSL|Morytania}}. This event had water from the {{RSL|River of Salve|river of Salve}} enter the mine where the crystals deposit resided, having them infuse with the water's holy magic. Why this one had power is unknown.
** It has been confirmed by [[Dragonwilds:Mod Raven]] that this was intentional, it is not meant to be a lorefail, but a mystery to "why did the amulet work."{{CiteDiscord|author=Mod Raven|url=https://discord.com/channels/303835144073248770/474587164647358475/1457659608691638333|date=05 January 2026|quote=The intention here was to create an area of mystery and discussion about how these things might connect or work. Where did this practice come from? What is special about the crystals? Why did they think to do that with the Salve? Where did it all actually start?

Lacrussa's amulet should not have worked, yet it did... why? There is an element in play that you can infer stuff from if you understand the full extent of Lacrussa's situation.|ctxquote=Aren't its powers over the undead directly derived from the River Salve blessing
In which case it being named salve is very much not a misnomer
And it wouldn't have existed in the Third Age}}
