The Crystal Cave in World of Warcraft (found in Un’goro crater) is a surprisingly stunning sight when you come across it in-game. The crystalline formations really do glow brightly with striking colors, and the first time I saw it, it took my breath away.
Imagine that you (or a fictional character you’ve already created) are on a hiking trip through a secluded forest in a mountainous region. You stop for lunch and see a cave entrance. Flashlight (or lantern) held high, you enter the cave to see what’s there–and your light is reflected and magnified a hundred times over by the crystal formations that line the walls in pockets.
