Crystal Iriyads are upgraded tier-III units of the Grove faction. They can be recruited from Menhir Circle II.
They are one of the upgrades of the Vine Iriyad, the other being the Fungal Iriyad.
Description
Elementalists say that each element has two aspects.
The second aspect of earth is the stubborn, proud, and unyielding nature found at its foundation: stone. To come across a crystal iriyad is to face this unrelenting resistance to change — and an unavoidable delay in your journey, as they are fiercely territorial.
