The Refracted Residential

The Refracted Residential is the heart of everyday life in the Crystal Lord's domain. Serving as the primary residential area, it's a harmonious blend of artistic craftsmanship and practical living, designed to capture and manipulate natural light in dazzling displays.
The district's architecture is predominantly crystalline, with houses and buildings made of transparent or translucent materials in various hues. Structures vary from simple, glistening cottages to grand mansions, all designed with multi-faceted surfaces that refract sunlight into mesmerizing patterns. By day, the district shimmers with a myriad of colors; by night, it gleams under the moonlight and the glow of strategically placed magical lanterns.
Roofs are sloped and often adorned with prismatic spires that channel light down into homes. Streets and pathways are paved with luminescent tiles that absorb sunlight during the day and glow softly during the night, providing ambient lighting.
Most of the domain's populace resides here, in homes suited to various social statuses, from humble abodes to affluent residences. Public Spaces: Interspersed among the houses are parks with crystalline sculptures, fountains, and luminous flora, providing recreational spaces for residents.
Homes in the Refracted Residential are often equipped with basic magical amenities – from enchanted heating systems to illumination spells that adjust based on the time of day or the residents' moods.

The district is home to a diverse range of individuals – from working-class families involved in trade or craftsmanship to scholars from the Lustrous Libraries and mages from the Crystal Spire. Community spirit is strong, with frequent neighborhood events celebrating the unique blend of magic and nature.
The Refracted Residential is a testament to the domain's ability to harmoniously blend magic, art, and daily life. It's a symbol of the populace's pride in their magical heritage and their commitment to a community that reflects both functionality and beauty.
