Crystal Spires And Togas
Basic Information
Crystal Spires and Togas is a speculative fiction trope that codifies the appearance of an advanced society, usually one from the far future. It's a blend of New Age and Ancient Greece, where people wear robes and architecture is breathtaking but impractical. The government forms of such a society are usually some sort of semi-mysterious council, steeped in esoteric tradition. The local technology incorporates Power Crystals. This civilization may end up building some beautiful Megastructures.
