The earth plane is a mess of tunnels but you should make your way north. You 
will eventually come to a large room where you can take a platform down. Climb 
the stairs there and make your way north to a circular room, where the earth 
heartstone lies.

Return to Xanthor to get the key.	

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Objective: Find Xanthor

Using this key, open the door to the crystal.

I can't continue now because after i completed the game, the crystal was 
destroyed and removed from the map so I can't give details.

However, here's a brief outline:

Travel to plane between planes
Talk to Escaton
Give answers to riddles:
Prison, Egg, Inside
Get the key
Save the Four elemental Lords
The end
