Stormhold Crystal

"'In your hands the Stormhold crystal, pulsing with the distilled power of the priests of a nearly forgotten the crystal cannot hold the evil of the world, but it just might hold enough to undo the corruption of this camp.' - Victory Screen"The Storm Crystal is an empty gem in The Elder Scrolls Travels: Stormhold that is capable of absorbing evil influences, and was located below Stormhold Prison. It was the main target of the mad warden Quintus Varus, and its power was his motivation. Although originally believed to be powerful enough to cleanse the Imperial Empire of all evil, it was later proven to be too small for such a task, and could only absorb the corruption caused by Varus' mining efforts.

The effects of the Storm Crystal's corruption includes twisting the guards into man-beasts, driving prisoners insane, severely damaging everyone's general health, creating several undead, and possibly driving Varus insane and giving him the form seen in-game.

Quintus Varus has a 100% drop rate for this item, and picking it up after killing him ends the game.
