- None of the natives of the island itself are aligned to the Arehtei. That's why the Arehtei did not start to receive emotional energy from it until the Otherworlders showed up, because they are aligned, and why Thras and Daimonia are two of the steadier Arehtei. They have had aligned in their cities all along.
- The big crystal has always served to protect the island from the nasty atmosphere. Shaarnath needs no such crystal because of Thras's presence and because all the dunamis use helps to convert the extra energy and keep it stable. This is something deliberate on the part of the Shaarnathians.
- Theasthai, on the other hand, is protected by two large ward towers. Full emotion crystals are fed to these towers in order to power them. One takes the positive crystals and the other takes the more negative ones. I imagine Komaeda would want to know the specifics of this, especially with Briarlan's new tech working in much the same way. If so I will hunt down more specifics. It may be that the process of how to make them has been lost.
- Nobody actually know for sure what the crystal is or how it works exactly, that is why it has a big ol' gaggle of researchers, Rebekah being the main one. But the main thing it has always done other than offer stability is gather up the emotional energy of the residents of Empatheias and, when there gets to be a lot of positivity or negativity, spew it back out again in a Rise or a Fall. Sosyne has referred to the thing as a "machine" in the past, but doesn't know the full extent of it either.
- The big crystal has nothing to do with the Arehtei directly, no.
Any follow ups from me will have to wait until Monday, as I am traveling this weekend!
