Crest was responsible for the discovery of arcane magic and sold the secret to each of his fellow gods.

Allanbay paid the highest price, and since that day his once-mortal wife, Sorn, was made a prisoner in Crest's Moon Fortress.

Some of Crest's more belligerent followers claimed that worship of Sorn, and all artifacts attendant thereupon had naturally fallen within their purview. It was Crest who sent down the Arnde, dark angels from the celestial plane, to teach the secrets of magic to mortals.

Crest was followed by many individual mages and scholars: he had a strong following amongst the Planetouched and the Lore Dragons in particular.

The best known organization following Crest was the Crescent Order, who historically played a role in the Church of the Shroud. Although Crest was generally an ally of Krell, the Crescent Order displeased Krell during the civil war.

The only deity genuinely well-disposed towards the god of magic was Vidal. But once Crest no longer had any firm loyaties, both sides attempted to cultivate his friendship and that of his followers, however odious that may have seemed.

A survivor of the apocalyptic eruption between Allanbay and Krell at the end of the Final Fatewar, his whereabouts are currently unknown.
