The Crystal Altar (玻璃壇 Haridan ) is a Treasure Tool which produces a miniature projection of the terrain or city around it, allowing the observation of people,[1] Torches, and the flow of Power of Existence within that terrain or city.[2]
Background[]
From Margery's story, it is told that Crystal Altar was made about three millennia ago by a Crimson God called Snake of the Festival, who had taken a liking to the act of "ruling."
The Crystal Altar was originally intended to be used with the Gehinnom, an enormous stone bowl found inside the Bal Masqué headquarters. He created a human city and then watched over that city using the Crystal Altar. However, he was sealed in the Rift Between Both Worlds after many battles with various Flame Haze and it disappeared. However, Friagne the Hunter discovered it and took possession of it. Then, he brought it with him into Misaki City for his plans. While one may be deceived that it looks like the city's replica, the Altar itself is actually shaped like a small bronze mirror, hidden inside Friagne's enormous pile of Treasure Tools.
After Friagne's defeat, it was left in the Yoda Department Store, where he was using it as his base. It was then frequently used by Shana, Margery Daw, Yuji Sakai and humans who assist the Flame Haze like Kazumi Yoshida, Eita Tanaka, and Satō Keisaku to monitor and help plan strategies to defeat incoming Crimson Denizen and later Bal Masqué. Later, when Shana was defeated on her first encounter with Yuji after his Power of Existence had ran out, he and the Snake of the Festival took it and placed it back to the Gehinnom in Seireiden, the base and headquarters of Bal Masqué.
