Several sources:
- 'Rock Pile' feature will give one Crystal of each religion (i3100-i3103)
  but costs 800 spirit. If you see one, RUN FOR IT!
- All churches have 10 crystals in stock, so get a deceiver and BURGLE them.
  (But the churches have high covert defenses, so watch out!)
- Some dens contain Crystals. It's random, but I've found two crystals that
  way.
- Some random generated Characters may own crystals. HONOR them, or
  BURGLE them.

The only way is to HONOR him. There is no other way. You can release him
into your party, and then he'll fight for you for the remaining of that turn,
but he'll leave your party at the end of the turn.

>3) What is the best way to get $$ ?

The best sources are Guilds, because they can't do much else, and they
generate lots of gold, especially the higher power guilds. Number two
on my list is den bashing, which can give 20-30 K gold for each den,
then item selling (found in the same den), title stipends and location
commercing. (Oh, did I forget to mention the Wealthy Sponsor Quests?)
But only guilds and Dens can generate more than 10K gold each turn.
(That's why I advice to include some simple fighters in each setup)
