That water Crystal is one of the big reasons I feel the Lominsan start is cannon; you confront some Serpent Reavers right before the fight you get the Crystal from. And who do the Reavers serve? The Lord of the Whorl.

(We grab them out of primals and random monsters?)

But is there anything that says otherwise? That the Crystals of Light aren't actually part of Hydaelyn herself, and existed as separate items floating around until we picked them up? Or at least, what exactly are they?
According to Krile (I think...could have been Matyoa...can't access Journal right now with maintenance going on...was during 3.2) the Crystals of Light are gifts from the Mothercrystal to the current Warrior of Light to help them fight the Darkness. And with her waning power, so too are the Crystals. Older ones are much more powerful than the ones we've seen (our six and Ysayle's one)

I'm not sure it was explained exactly how we get them, other than that we are able to manifest them...somehow...using the Blessing. It may be explained somewhere in the MSQ, but its been...geeze...one to two years since I did the AAR MSQ, so I'm rusty on the specifics there. Could also have some explanation on the quest Krile uses Matoya's Crystal, but I can't remember
