Corpses Christi refers to the unique geological feature lying as a mountain range on the central shores of the Christi region. Resembling a mountainous large corpse embedded belly-down, legs floating in the ocean, arms bent above the head, into the coast of northwest Tejas. It is a contiguous body of various geographic features and with a complex interior landscape with expansive inner cave and sea systems. | Corpses Christi refers to the unique geological feature lying as a mountain range on the central shores of the Christi region.

The Head resembles a spheroid with an large segment, roughly an eighth slice, removed, leaving two immense sheared faces of crystal amalgamate. The mountain range known as The Pillows surround the Geode-like mass. The bottom cut hosts a large Wizard City. Along the crystal cliff faces are countless structures forming cliff-cities on the exterior. Carved into the solid crystal are deep shafts leading to interior spaces ranging from individual dwellings and workshops, to cavernous hollows containing castles or villages. | The Head resembles a spheroid with an large segment, roughly an eighth slice, removed, leaving two immense sheared faces of crystal amalgamate.
