It had been a long time since Lex last came to the Crystal realm, though the amount of time that had passed in the Crystal realm itself was not as great. Even so, the very air of the realm had changed. The underlying laws that governed the realm had loosened considerably, and were changing more and more to become a frozen hellscape.
What was once a rich and vibrant land, even in the midst of a centuries long war, was now becoming a land of ice and snow. Treasures and resources, once found of all varieties, now took on the form of colder elements.
The changes were not too much of a surprise, as the last time he had visited the realm he had discovered the Hellions from Ventura were attempting to terraform the realm into something more suitable for their own individual races. He had informed Cornelius about the changes, but it seemed the human king was unsuccessful in preventing the changes.
