The Hidebounds

Within the society there is a faction that prefers to live without the necessity of using the crystal. The Hidebounds believe that using the crystal would guide them to their destruction, therefore, they avoid using artefacts that are supported by the strange crystal. The people within the faction believe that they will be better without using the crystal because they think that if they use the crystal sent by the gods, they would punish them for overusing their gift.
