The PCs must restore the power of the four crystals to defeat the Dark Lord. What should I base the four crystals upon, instead of the four elements?

Playing card suits are the next most obvious set of 4 that you could expect people to recognise. You could also do the 4 humours and base them on emotions/temperaments.

Four horsemen.

Or just make something up in game like the “four virtues of X” and its courage, honor, humility, and mercy or something.

The earth, the sun, the moon & the stars.

Biles already got dubs, but Timecube has a lot of cyclical sets of four since the guy behind it is a schizo who thinks that cubes have 4 sides.
For example, races come in a set of four, so when he dies he will be reborn as a black man “who hate all you honkies”

An actual crystal in a dragon's hoard, the dragon can be peaceful but the search through the hoard could take months, if not years.
A royal family heirloom, it could be encrusted in some sort of a sign of power in front of which lords bend the knee, or in the tombs, or one could be fake, but getting the gem would need the state to follow the king, not the symbolism.
A phylactery of a lich, straightforward, or the lich is merely a servant who acts in his master's place while the lich is trying to find a cure for lichdom.
A girl, one the heroes meet between the adventures. An NPC they grow to like. Maybe a tavern maiden's runt who grows into a beautiful woman and marries a good man. Alas, her heart must be destroyed and she must perish. There's no other way.

Each crystal is the lifesoul of a different race, dimmed by time and strife between peoples, lowering their potential. Only by aiding them and restoring their faith in the collective good can the crystals be reignited so that everyone can come together and defeat the evil ravaging the land.
