The World of Crystal is very interesting, no? Everyone seemed to be so fixated on their own things that they forgot what they're made for. But, do we have the obligation to do so? To follow the reason we are created? Or will we make our own decision? Your choices are like refracted lights on crystals. So many, so beautiful, yet a neverending change.
These symbols took a while as I have created 16 symbols for the other family symbols. Luckily, I use geometry to make them as it's simple yet could be interesting if used right. There are detailed descriptions of each symbols and what they represent in their respective nation post.
Be sure to check their description as it explains a lot 👀👌
Also, please only use these if you're making art that needs it and it's very neat that these symbols make a good gradation y'know 🌈

Lucidial in its prime was once considered a heaven through all of its people. Only the arches and their partners are allowed there as it’s considered sacred. Dragnar cannot be present all the time so he entrusted MoiRai as his right hand man. This place is home to the arches and some of their servants if they wish. Each part of the Lucidial represents the arches that resides there with their own aesthetic of choice. As time passed, the restrictions became a bit more leisure and only appointed hopers could enter besides the arches’ partners. They’re there to learn of the arches’ knowledge and spread it throughout the world, both hoper and dreamer.
After the first Great War, the hoper won and changed the old ways entirely. This group of people despises the arch and follower system and wishes to be more modernized in their own eyes. After some tension of discussion, they allow the dreamers to live within them in their own rules and separated throughout the world to not easily gather a force to rebel. Some of the people in the group were extremists that wished that dreamers would be locked away in the Lucidial, away from them. However, the knowledge of magic is held by Victor Oswen, a dreamer. He made the table turn at the dealings since he has what they want, the secret of magic. The extremists lay down until they could get rid of dreamers completely.
The Lucidial remained untouched after several hundred years and was in MoiRai’s care. The second Great War came and the monster lost once again. This time the group took action and succeeded in persuading the other leader to banish the monster into the Lucidial.
Lucidial is now shut off from Dragtal, the physical world. Without it, it cannot sustain itself because of the lack of the flow of physical magic from Dragtal. The Lucidial that was once a heaven turned into a ticking time for the inhabitants unless it sacrificed a human or living beings that originated from Dragtal. Without it, Lucidial will slowly crumble and fade away into non-existence. Perhaps into the Depths. An irreversible process.
There’s a time where many of the inhabitants turn into Monstre Lucifent, making them a shaman. The most forbidden in both societies. Monstre Lucifent was a major problem back in the Medieval Era so perhaps some of them followed monsters and used them to gain life force. This era is called the Lucifent Era.

Justine Dreemurr, the unusual king.
༻ Leader ༺
Lucidial was once ruled by Dragnar and MoiRai until He decided to create the arches to help Him manage the world. At some point in time, Dragnar left Lucidial for unknown reasons. Until then it was taken care of by MoiRai.
After the Second Great War, the Lucidial was taken in charge by the Dreemurr family since they’re the leader of monsters. The family took care of its people but unfortunately did not realize the effect of the class system where the social gap is wide.
Lucidial’s symbol is the modification of the Animus symbol which later on became the Renonculemus. This symbol is a combination of the Animus and Dreemurr’s family symbols. The Animus symbol is always related to Dragnar’s iconic symbol. The crystal being the essence of this world while the wings represent his wings, spreading his blessings. The centre of the symbol is the Golden Flower symbol representing the royal family. The crystal frame represents that they’re made, depend, and use crystals. Out of it, there are 4 parts representing the clouds of Lucidial, symbolizing the divinity and the fact that the place is a floating realm.

༻ Politics and Society ༺
Throughout its history, it changes alongside human’s history as they watch them from the water in Lake Bliss. It’s like a watching mirror to Dragtal as it’s used by the arches to watch over it in the past. Changing from the Medieval era, Enlightenment Era, to the Modern Era. They still speak some of the old Medieval languages and older people still speak the first language! Their clothes still follow the human trend by seeing them through Bliss Lake although, they do add their own culture. They will always have a crystal or brooch and most colors are white, blue, and green. Monsters cannot have a soul representation except if they’re the arches' family or trains for years or a gift. Thus, there’s no specific trait for them.
💎───────── 💎
༻ Politics༺
The Lucidial do not hold any relationship with the nations until the portal to Dragtal is open once again. They made a relationship with Goldenflow’s leader so their kind could live there until all of the nations approve their return to the world. Boreal and Nightral welcome them with open arms. Although, Nightral limits its access as they have a tie with Geronto which do not agree with the monster's sudden return. Occirly only allows some officials and nobles to enter as their place is already “overpopulated” and their arrival would distract the workers.
💎───────── 💎
༻ Class System ༺
There are 3 main class systems in Lucidial. That is Royals, Metics, and Ghetto. This classification is based on old ways as Lucidarians are still in some ways connected to the past. They’re based on family’s lineage, magic, and wealth.
◈ Royals
Royals are the descendants of the 8 arches before them. They’re the one that has the MTP constellations. Before being sent to the Lucidial, they’re once a ruler to their own land. They usually wear clothes that represent their trait colour as colours are seen as important symbols throughout the history of both humans and monsters. Symbolism is very important. They will usually have a crystal in any form to represent them as well.
◈ Metics
Metics are the ones that could sustain themselves and have normal magic. Unlike Geronto, you could be an inert but still classified as metics as long as you’re wealthy enough or have a strong connection to the royals. They usually wear yellow to blue hue colour as that’s believed to be the colour for divinity and heaven. Similar to the royals, they use crystals to represent them, often the same as their trait.
◈ Ghetto
Ghetto are the minority and almost forgotten. Even after the war, they’re still the same as before. Struggle to get food on the table. However, unlike the other nations, the Ghetto lives are getting better as time passes. Their number decreased as the royals tried to reform the system. They become displeased when the Lucidial portal opens to Dragtal. With the royals focusing on diplomatic relationships with the humans and racism from them, it’s even harder to survive. Although, they’re relieved that they did not die as a result of Lucidial falling.
Rumours surfaced that the reason the number decreases is because they’re used as a sacrifice for the Lucidial, even though it will only give little effect. They’re the most vulnerable to the Monstre Lucifent’s whisper as they have so many weaknesses to exploit regarding their lives back when they just established themselves here.

༻ Environment ༺
This place it’s known as a heaven in the past thus there are many magical and unknown things to outsiders. Lucidial is a floating island on what looks like a white place with clouds surrounding it. Like in many depictions of the heavens, the place mostly consists of white, blue, and green colours. The colour of peace and calmness. In the past, Dragtal used to be like this but as time passed, it’s almost completely gone. Only in Lucidial where the past lives on.
There are many crystal plants and animals that are called Krisant and Krisani. Animus crystals also thrive here as they exist because of the high magic essence present. There are not many buildings here as converting crystals into materials are difficult and they do not want to change this place entirely. Remnants of the previous arches’ place are still there and soon filled in by the inhabitants.
💎───────── 💎
༻ Technology ༺
Surprisingly, despite being held back in Lucidial and not following the human’s development of technology, they made very good progress in it. With the help of magic crystals, Victor’s notes and the Eidya’s help, they’re able to make a scientific breakthrough. Some of their inventions even surpass humans. Such as magic sharing where users could share their magic trait for a period of time or perhaps the classification of magic and blood type. There are some other inventions that could’ve been made if not because of the resource limitations.

>>Lucidial’s Portal seems to be sealed at the moment<<
༻ Lucidial’s Portal ༺
Lucidial’s portal is a portal that connects Lucidial and Dragtal. With this portal, the flow of magic flows through between them, that means both magic and physical essence. After the second Great War, the main portal was closed off by the wizards and thus the flow of magic was disrupted and cutted. However, because of the nature of magic like water, looking for a way to flow, some small occurrences of Lucidial’s portal around Dragtal exist. Around these portals, magic’s flow usually is odd and someone with a high magic aptitude will feel the flow disturbance. Despite being able to let some of the magic flow, it’s only a little and sometimes none. It does not solve Lucidial's crisis of needing physical magic from Dragtal.
Only some people and things could enter. For people, only the one with MTP constellations or very high magic aptitude could enter it and end up in Bliss Lake or any natural water in Lucidial. However, it would be hard to go back to Dragtal as there is no currently known way to return and monsters are desperate to get a hold of humans so they would not die.

Creator's Footnote:
"Lucidial's hues are my favourite because yellow, green, and blue and the colour palette I often used. This nation is inspired by the Greek Gods story. I also wonder what if a place like heaven become something the opposite of it? Well, if we look from the neutral side, heaven exists because some people believe it aka it needs a foundation to exist. Now, what if heaven doesn't have that? Will it hold itself together?"
