Oh, right! It’s a bit difficult to get used to the idea that they do not exist in every world... but then again, they are unique to Fódlan even within our world, so perhaps I should not be so surprised. So I suppose I’ll have to give you the crash course! ...hopefully I can finish the explanation before tomorrow, we likely need to get some rest tonight...

Ahem. In any case, crests are essentially inherited power. They have various effects depending on the crest in question, such as increased strength, superior reaction time, increased magical potency... those sorts of things. They were once thought to be blessings of the Goddess, but numerous recent discoveries have thrown the theological explanation into serious doubt. Of course, that means their mysteries are entirely solvable, one way or another... and, given that I have always suspected as much, I have dedicated my life to that pursuit.
