Crystal Swan is a legal guild that embraces peace and nature's blessings in order to travel the world and defend it from the evils that threaten it while experiencing the beauty of it. They are a very beautiful group of individuals in the sense of their actions, as they wish to protect all of Earthland from those that try to destroy it by corrupt means as well as those that try to destroy nature. They stand for many different things, but they all seep down to protecting the innocent and those that stand for good from the evil and corruption of those in the darker path of life, along with experiencing adventure and exploration. In many ways, they are a nomadic guild, which is very rare. This can be seen in their guild's location, being on a giant flying ship that is constantly moving. The guild has many different goals, big and small, but encourages members to have their own ambitions, values, morals, and interests. The guild promotes the freedom of its members.
✧ Exploring and Finding New Lands: One of the more prominent goals of Crystal Swan, they wish to explore the world and find beautiful and unknown areas that have not been explored before. They adore the world and its natural aspects as well as those that are made by man, as they are travelers and explorers at heart. Like the ship, everyone in Crystal Swan is constantly moving around Earthland to accomplish this goal, along with doing other things that pertain to their lives.
✧ Artistry: Being ones to adore man-made and natural works of nature, some members of Crystal Swan have taken a liking to nearly all forms of artistry one could think of. From doing things such as performance arts, paintings, and even using one's magic as an art-form, it is greatly encouraged for Crystal Swan members to embrace their inner artist and showcase their talents to others. This is something that attracts performers and artists to this guild.
✧ Protecting the Good World: Like most legal guilds, they vow to protect those that stand for the good in the world. They wish to save the world from the darkness that resides in it, and want to rid the world from darkness. This can be seen as nearly impossible task, but they wish to make it possible in their efforts. They want to rid the world of darkness, while bringing joy to those that need it.
✧ Experience Joy and Peace: Something also greatly encouraged by Crystal Swan to its members is to experience joy and peace, as long as it helps their lives in a positive way. This can be seen by the members of this guild being there for each-other and carrying out missions to save Earthland, as Crystal Swan is seen as more than just a group of guild members. They should be there for each-other to the best of their ability, assisting each-other as they assist those around them as well.

The ship is a beautiful place of peace and prosperity, established directly after the guild war.
The ship, referred to as Crystalli, is a wondrous hub for those that wish to travel the world or simply relax. Being the absolutely massive ship that it is, Crystalli is essentially a giant floating city that is constantly moving across the world. There is also an extreme abundance of greenery and large buildings, showing versatility in the sense of how many different types of things there are to do on this beautiful floating paradise. If you can think of something that would be in a large city, it is most likely featured and used to its best ability in this floating utopia. Restaurants, Concert Halls, Artistic Museums, Relaxation Spots, Shops, there is nearly anything one could dream located upon the ship of Crystal Swan's name. Also, due to its immense magical properties, it does not put slayers in harm of motion sickness. This ship is not exclusive to guild members either, in fact, it is mostly used by those that wish to travel the world and use it as a way to get from place to place in Earthland. It is constantly moving throughout the skies and clouds, lands in the seas, and blank fields of places they wish to land near. Since the bottom is entirely water-proof, including the windows and other holes one would use to breathe out of, it is capable of submerging its lower levels in water to appear as a flat city upon the waters of the ocean.

What is a guild without a guildmark? It symbolizes someone who has joined the ranks of Crystal Swan and wishes to assist them in their efforts, which is a simple yet beautiful task to fulfill.
The appearance of the guildmark is as simple as it is intricate, and can consist of up to four different colors in which the one bearing the mark wishes them to appear as. However, if they wish for the mark to have one solid color for all of the sections, they can choose for it to appear that way as well. The guildmark consists of four different parts, all forming together to form what appears to be a swan with crystal wings.
______________________________________________________________
Upon the center of the ship, encased by walls of large buildings that stretch as high as the eye can see, lies a medium-sized and octagonal shaped building that is the designated guild hall of Crystal Swan. This building is on its own "island" in a sense, being that it is surrounded by a small pond of water that houses beautiful and multi-colored fish along with the occasional swan. Four bridges stretch across the water on each side, approaching the golden doors of the guild with a sense of peace and antique class.
The exterior of the guild hall consists of a very reinforced type of material, along with golden plated hints among the walls for aesthetic pops of color. These golden plates consist of various classical designs, all seeping down to the guild mark in small and large separate hieroglyphics. There are also beautiful plants that stretch up this building, which are magical and rare apples known as Rosea Malum. These apples are pink and color and are entirely translucent, and when consumed, they give a beautiful amplification of color and sound to the mind. Anyone can enter the guild hall, but it is not that common for those that are not in the guild or wishing to join the guild to wander inside. The inside of the guild itself is three stories tall, not including the under-surface parts, and gets smaller and smaller the higher one goes inside. The third floor is always barred off, however, and is only accessible by the guild master, aces, and the captain of the ship, as it is where the ship is being steered from.
The first floor is the largest and most populated of the guild hall, being that it is where the majority of the members meet at. It is a beautiful and intricate place, being that it is something that crosses modern and classic-Greek architecture to make something entirely new. The walls are made of a beautiful and white-beige stone, filled with antique and ornate designs along with holes that produce shimmering waterfalls that fall into pools of crystal flowers. Here there are multiple things that a typical guild would have in its main quarters, such as a bar, the job board, and much more. The guild members here are typically seen conversing with each-other and simply relaxing among the outsides of the warm pools of water, along with doing other things one would do inside a guild hall. In a single pool of the guild that is slightly larger than the rest lies a piano sitting upon a panel of stone, which is entirely translucent and has fish swimming through the water inside. It can still be played, and makes beautiful sounds that one would not hear from a normal piano.
The second floor looks very similar to the first, and is connected to the first with a beautiful and grand stairway that has cascading waterfalls falling from the outsides. It is half the size of the first floor, and has a large balcony overlooking the first, but is not typically accessed by anyone besides the guild master and aces of Crystal Swan. This floor, however, does not have as many walls as the other floor, being that it is a singular room. The only thing that lies in this room is a large and circular table, that of which is capable of sitting up to twenty people. In the center of this circular table lies a pond of beautiful white lilies, with pink and red koi swimming through them in a beautiful style. This is the essential meeting room of the guild, where important matters are discussed between those seen as trustworthy in the eyes of the guild master. Also, in between some of the waterfalls are beautiful and large bookshelves, housing thousands of multi-colored books. This is essentially the guild's classified meeting room and library.
The third floor is accessible by a small door hidden away behind a waterfall in the second, and is always locked. This is only able to be accessed by the guild master, the guild aces, and the captain of the ship, Captain Bojangles. Nobody on the ship besides the guild master has ever seen this captain, as he never comes out of his commanding room without a dire reason to do so. However, unlike his rather mysterious connotation, he is actually a small and fluffy cat. This room is unlike all the other rooms, as it is very small and covered in maps and lacrima-powered screens. In the center is a chair and steering wheel, which he is constantly steering.
Toward the back of the first floor is a singular door, engraved with the Crystal Swan mark and waterfalls cascading on each side. This door is rather large and seems to have no handle, as it is only able to be opened by those that bear the guild mark. To open this door, the one bearing the mark would hold their hand up to the center of the logo, and it would open and lead to a set of stairs reaching farther and farther down into the under-levels of the ship. These levels consist of hallways upon hallways, which look exactly as the guild hall looked but thinner, including the waterfalls and pools of lilies. In these halls are doors upon doors of empty rooms, which are designated for guild members to reside in. These rooms are very large and have a single lacrima-pad on the wall that can be detached, which they can use to create nearly any set of furniture or aesthetic object to personalize their room to their liking. These are mere suggestions for members, however, as they can live in personalized houses upon the ship as well as off the ship if they wish to do so.
