Alright, let's see. I have a couple of concepts that might be of interest. See if you like any:

1) Shortage of edible crystals (I actualy wanted to ask how those work); for some reason these kind of crystals stopped growing and everyone have to find a way to replenish food supplies; crisis would likely be nullified if there are simply other ways to procure food (do they have aggriculture and livestocks in the Depths ?)

2) She sun crystal is losing power for some reason and ways must be found to either restore it or find alternatives to light (kinda sounds like a "late-game" sort of thing; you decide)

3) An unknown "jewel peddler" is selling around strange necklaces with a purple crystal for cheap, that is in actuality a 'plague-crystal', causing whoever wearing them to behave eratic/crazy/violent/lustful/whatever. A lot of people end up wearing these necklaces and soon enough it causes chaos in a few cities or settlements. And the "jewel peddler" does this for some omnious reasons (either just chaos for the sake of chaos or it's a distraction from something greater...)

4) A new type of crystal that suddenly began growing around, and it grows at an alarming pace. It seems to "choke out" any other sort of vegetayion or other kinds of crystals, growing over them and even "infesting" them. Later on, it turns out to be a type of "parasitic crystals" that starts to grow on people and risks locking them in place, like statues; it's a horror sort of thing and honestly, it has been used before. Maybe a good spin would be that the "crystal" even begins to use the infected people as puppets and start attacking other people, thus giving the urgency to find a cure or fight it. (small detail: crystal-based dwellers/Mamonos are either immune to it or very susceptible; you decide).

What do you think of these ? Good or bad ?
